A Delicious Story by Barney Saltzberg

Published by Hippo Park

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.
