Snow Day for Mouse (Mouse (Holiday House))
Having survived Cinco de Mouse-O! (2010) and Haunted House, Haunted Mouse (2011), Mouse has a bit of an adventure after a snowstorm hits the city. At first, Mouse can only stare out at the “icy, lacy, snow-flaky day,” but that reverie ends when the mother accidentally sweeps Mouse and his nemesis, Cat, right out the door. Outside, Mouse skates on a puddle, sleds on a leaf, and builds snowbirds and a snowmouse, all the while dodging the ever-stalking Cat. The infrequently seen snowy-city atmosphere and plenty of clever details (snowmen in the shape of giant monsters and sharks) imbue Ebbeler’s vertiginous mouse-eye-view acrylics with plenty for kids to pore over.
