"Wallace is hyper-organized. He writes down everything he wants to accomplish in a day and does everything on the list...nothing more and nothing less. When he meets a new neighbor, his logical sequence is challenged by the idea of having an unplanned adventure. It's hard for Wallace to grasp the concept, but he's enjoying his new friend's company so much, he might just have to take the plunge and do something unexpected. Cartoony illustrations with scrapbook style excerpts from his lists support the story and add charm."

    " This book teaches you to let go of your normal routine and something great will happen. Wallace went by the books on everything he did. If it wasn't on his list he didn't do it. I think that this would be a terrible way to live your life. This would be a great book for any elementary grade. "

    " Wallace was a mouse that had a list for EVERYTHING. If it wasn't on the list, Wallace couldn't do it. So one day, he runs into his new neighbor, Albert. Albert is the exact opposite of Wallace. He loves adventures and does whatever he wants whenever he wants to. Throughout the story, Wallace becomes more and more adventurous and even shows Albert a good time. In the end, Wallace still made lists, but his favorite list was his one that had Albert on it; his best friend list. The point of view of this story is narrative mode and the main ideas of this story is friendship and adventure. I would recommend this book. It was fun to read and the format of the book is fun. I didn't love the book but I did like what you can take from the story. This book will teach children to have fun and be adventurous. "

    " Accessible, but not too simplistic. Fun, but not goofy. Are you more like Wallace, or like Albert? I admire the Alberts of the world, but the older I get the less like them I can manage to be. Recommended if you wrestle with issues related to spontaneity and security. "
