Come Out and Play, Little Mouse
Like last year's Where Are You Going, Little Mouse?, this well-designed book is in vivid color, with humorously detailed illustrations. On Monday, a wily cat says to Little Mouse, "Come out and play." The mouse replies: "I can't play today . . . ask me tomorrow." The cat asks daily, and Little Mouse begs off daily, with good excuses each timeshopping, painting, laundry, homework, cleaning. On Saturday, Baby Mouse responds to his request, "My big brother's busy, but I'll play with you." Just as readers may have suspected, that cat has definite plans, and it looks as if he'll get his way, until a dog appears! A surprising revelationand all's well that end's well. Exciting yet reassuring fare by a talented trio. Ages 3-6.Copyright 1987 Reed Business Information, Inc.--This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
