The Little Mouse, The Red Ripe Strawberry, and the Big Hungry Bear

Little mouse is on his way to pick a big strawberry, but the narrator of the story warns the mouse that there is a big, hungry bear who would just love to eat that strawberry. The narrator cleverly convinces that little mouse to share his strawberry, and protect it from the big bear.

I found this book to be a very fun book to read aloud. The voice of the book is unique, with the narrator speaking to the mouse throughout the book. The adorable illustrations add a great deal to the character of the book. The illustrations clearly depict a proud little mouse picking his strawberry, followed my nervous little mouse, who tries everything he can imagine to hide his strawberry from the big, hungry bear. Finally, the illustrations show a full, satisfied little mouse, sleeping in his hammock. This is a story that young children will love.
