Horace and Morris but Mostly Dolores
Three mouse friends are split up by a boys' club and a girls' club, until Dolores decides she has had enough.
A picture book by James Howe, illustrated by Amy Walrod. Horace, Morris and Dolores are three mice who do everything together, until the boys join a club where girls are not allowed and Dolores ends up in a club for girls. Bored by the rules on both sides, she finds a way to bring friends from each club back together. It is a funny story about friendship across the lines children draw between boys and girls.

Horace and Morris but Mostly Dolores presents gender dynamics with a little more complexity and a little more realism than a typical agenda book. So it’s about how each creature can be an individual and how kids can find common interests that aren’t defined by gender.
