Summary: A little mouse is looking for a story. “Oh…I haven’t seen one,” says the big mouse, looking away. “Wait, isn’t this a book?” asks the little mouse. It is indeed, but there is no story. When pressed, the big mouse admits that he ate the story AND the pictures. It was a delicious story, and he offers to tell the little mouse a new one. It’s a tough process, but eventually the two mice work together to create a cozy story…with a surprise ending. 80 pages; ages 3-6.
Pros: Elephant and Piggie fans will get a big kick out of this story that’s perfect for beginning readers (and listeners) and that provides a fun introduction to stories and storytelling.
Cons: There’s not a lot of action in the illustrations.
