Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly
Baby Mouse gets into mischief in triplicate in these three separate but equally antic stories about a tiny family that lives by Farmer Clem's garden. Ages 3-6.
Copyright 1995 Reed Business Information, Inc.

From School Library Journal
PreSchool-Grade 1 Colorful, lively, funny, original. Right away children will expect something special: on the front cover Baby Mouse, in her diaper and red bow, dances with her folks. A dazzling arrangement of garden vegetables decorates the white endpapers. This is the overture, and when the action begins every page is a discovery and a smile. Over in the garden that Farmer Clem unknowingly shares with the tiny Mouse family, preparations are on for a midsummer party. Mother and Father Mouse have their backs turned, so Baby wanders away. She soon tires and climbs into a head of lettuce to rest. Meanwhile, Farmer Clem gathers his salad fixings, including (you guessed it) the very lettuce that shelters our young explorer. A brave rescue follows, and more adventures, too. In a grand finale, costumed mice kick up their heels while Grandpa fiddles away at The Pea Patch Jig. Those natty alligators dancing the night away in Mama Don't Allow (Harper, 1984) never had more fun than this crowd. Anna Biagioni Hart, Sherwood Regional Library, Alexandria, Va.

The cutest book for young children5
This is one of the cutest books for young children to read. While Baby Mouse is shooting peas out of her window and scaring away foxes, Father Mouse is knocking blenders onto Farmer Clem's shoulder! So venture into a wonderful children's book where 'The corn is as bright as the summer sun'!
