Let’s go through each question one by one, using what we know from the story “Library Mouse” by Daniel Kirk.
---
1. Where did Sam live?
In the story, Sam is a mouse who lives in a library — specifically, inside the walls of the library. He doesn’t live in a house or outside; his home is hidden within the library building.
✔ So, the answer is:
Sam lived in the library (inside the walls).

2. Sam wrote his first book about:
We need to remember what Sam’s first book was about. In the story, Sam starts writing books after seeing how much kids enjoy reading. His very first book is about being a pirate — he imagines himself as an adventurous pirate mouse!
The options are:
- ○ being a pirate →
✔ This is correct.
- ○ being a mouse → Not his first book topic.
- ○ living in a library → That’s where he lives, but not what his first book was about.
✔ So, the answer is:
being a pirate

3. Did the kids ever meet Sam?
In the story, the kids never actually see Sam. They find his books and love them, but Sam stays hidden. He watches them read his books from behind the walls or shelves, but they never meet face-to-face.
✔ So, the answer is:
No

This story reminds me of something.
This part is personal — it asks if the story reminds you of anything in your own life. Since this is for homework, you can think: Have you ever made something that others enjoyed without them knowing it was you? Or maybe you’ve seen someone enjoy something you created?
But since we’re solving based on the story facts, and this is optional/personal, we’ll leave it for the student to decide. But for now, we focus on the factual questions.

Final Answer:
1. Sam lived in the library (inside the walls).
2. being a pirate
3. No
