Little Mouse, written and illustrated by Alison Murray
As they quietly cuddle and read a book together, a mom calls her daughter "her little mouse." But oh this girl is much more than that and this imaginative, interactive gem proves it! Encouraging young listeners to roar, howl, and stomp, the narrator shows how she is anything but a little mouse: she can make herself tall as a giraffe, trumpet like an elephant, scare off a lion, and chomp like a hungry horse. Murray's nifty, crystal clear drawings capture this pint-sized dynamo in her full glory. And if you look closely you will see a mice imagery on every spread. Lo and behold, the book sneakily becomes a bedtime story, with the girl enjoying a bath, slipping on her pjs, and then happily cuddling up with mom like a little mouse as she falls cozily to sleep.
