A mouse counting on a snack

A peckish mouse on the hunt for a light snack - something like a piece of cheese - climbs up the table and finds a feast fit for a king. He prepares an enormous platter filled with everything from chicken legs to tacos to cupcakes - and of course there's cheese, too. However, the cat is onto him, and a chase ensues as the mouse desperately shoulders his smorgasbord back to his hole - but it's too small! All the food flies up, up, up, landing on the unfortunate feline. All except the cheese, that is, which bounces safely into the mousehole.

In addition to being a happy adventure with the simplest of texts and hilarious pictures, there is the bonus of counting the items of food the mouse piles on - and later loses - from the single cheese portion up to the ten slices of chocolate cake.

Rezensionen

PreSchool-Grade 1–A small mouse almost gets away with stealing a large platter of delicacies laid out for a party, but at the last moment a watchful cat springs into action. The whole tray overturns on top of the feline, flattening him, while the mouse scampers safely back to his hole with a big slice of Swiss cheese. Interwoven into the text is a countdown of the morsels from the table, e.g., 1 piece of cheese, 2 plump plums, etc. Told in a minimum of words, the story is funny and clever, with plenty of action in the lively watercolor drawings. It should satisfy even the youngest listeners, while appealing to older preschoolers as well.–Sally R. Dow, Ossining Public Library, NY
