Poppy is a little deer mouse who is trying to find a new home for her
family. Along the way she meets a new friend, Ereth the porcupine, who helps her
look for a home. But with Mr. Ocax, an angry Owl, bothering her, it is a tough
journey. I recommend this humorous book about animals.Spring

| Reviewer: Jared T. '08 Poppy is about a mouse colony that lives under the control of an owl. The
mice think this owl is good because he tells them things that will protect them, but
actually, they are lies. One day, the two head mice tell everyone that their home is
getting too small and that there is not enough food to live. So, Poppy, a young mouse,
decides to go ask the permission of the owl to go find another home for the rest of the
mice. The owl refuses and tells Poppy that they may not find a new home. But that doesn't
top Poppy! She disobeys the owl and goes searching for a new home for the mice. Will Poppy
die in the adventure? Will the owl find her and kill her? Will she find a new home in
time? Read the book to find out.
I loved this book and you will too because Poppy never quits. I
recommend this book to people who LOVE adventure, action, and mystery books. This book is
excellent and you have to read it to find out! |

| Reviewer: Ben S. '06 Poppy is a deer mouse who lives with her family of 149 mice in Gray House.
Poppy’s family has to move to New House because at Gray House they do not have enough
food to support the mouse family. Mr. Ocax is a great horned owl that made a deal with
Poppy’s family. If the mice treat Mr. Ocax as their leader, then Mr. Ocax will keep
them safe. Poppy thinks there is another reason for Mr. Ocax’s demands. She is
determined to find out, so she sets out for the long journey to New House. On the way to
New House she meets a porcupine that explains to her that porcupines don’t eat mice
and owls are the ones that are afraid of porcupines. Can she get to New House and then
back to Gray House without being harmed by Mr. Ocax? Read the book, Poppy, to
find out.

Poppy is about a girl mouse who loses her boyfriend, also a mouse. She sets
out on a journey to find New House, a house to which Poppy’s family wants to move.
Mr.Ocax, an owl, says they can’t move because Poppy went up on the hill without
asking Mr.Ocax; but he said that if Poppy stayed with the owl he might reconsider. Poppy
leaves her family to see what is really keeping him from letting the mice move into New
House. On her way there, she meets a porcupine and a cat who were both very nice to her.
To find out what happens you should read the book. 12/16/98 |
