Mommy and Mikel Go For a Walk by Ann Morris is a well-illustrated book for children that teaches a lesson while being entertaining. In this book, M stands not only for Mommy and Mikel, but also for Mystery and Mink. When Mommy and Mikel go for a walk, they find many things about which Mikel is curious, including a goldfinch, daisies, poison ivy, and an American Mink. At first they don't know what the animal they saw in the water is, so Mommy takes Mikel to the library and they investigate by looking for pictures of what they saw in an encyclopedia. After Mommy finds the picture, Mikel is happy to have solved the mystery and learned about a new animal.
Mommy and Mikel Go For a Walk captures what a walk would be like with a little one who is full of energy and curiosity, wanting to know about everything he encounters. Morris does a good job of making it a learning book about several different things, but I also appreciated how the mother looked after the son's safety by bringing along a jacket and not letting him cross the library parking lot by himself. The illustrations in Mommy and Mikel Go For A Walk are very well done and kids will like seeing the mystery items in them. It was nice to see how Mikel enjoyed the opportunity to take a walk with his mom because he doesn't get to do it very often.
