Mr. Maxwell's Mouse by Frank Asch and Devin Asch*

I originally checked out this book because several sites/people recommended it as a mentor text for persuasive writing.  Although the mouse is persuasive in this story, this book serves as a mentor text for word choice and varying sentence lengths.
I can't wait to share it with my sons and fifth grade students!
Mentor text-persuasive writing, word choice, expanding vocabulary, varying sentence length
**Highly, highly recommend,
