Note: I received an F&G of this book at an ALA conference. ( )

Take a trip with a New York City mouse as he tries to find food for his family. He is faced with many obstacles on his journey. Will he ever get the food to his home?

This is a perfect title for new readers because the vibrant illustrations complement the limited text. It would also be a good book for read alouds because listeners could add so much to the minimalistic story because of the detailed illustrations. While this book is simple, I still think it will be enjoyed by young readers and listeners. I recommend this title for public libraries for toddlers, preschoolers, and kindergarteners. ( )
