Is this cheating? Probably? But it’s the only one I found when searching that I knew I’d finish and I remembered loving it as a kid. Now I have a copy to read to my tiny nephew who loves books.

Wood, Don, and Audrey Wood. The Little Mouse, the Red Ripe Strawberry, and the Big Hungry Bear. Auburn, ME: Child's Play (International), 1984. Print. Metafiction. This story is so cute because it is centered on a poor little mouse trying to keep his strawberry safe from the big hungry bear. The great thing about this story is that it’s interactive with the reader and mouse. The mouse is so worried about it’s strawberry and the reader convinces the mouse to share. Although it does use some trickery to get the strawberry, it does teach the reader to share with others and not hoard your food. I would read this to my kids personally because it engages the reader and needs the child’s attention. Kids get really excited when they are able to read with the book itself.
I guess the most important thing is that my 2 and 5 year olds LOVE this book. It's simple enough that they can both "read" it themselves and they talk about it all the time.

the narrator didn't turn out to be the bear!!
As ilustrações são muito bonitas e a história é bem interativa, as crianças gostaram bastante quando eu li pra elas e pediam mais várias vezes. Não é o melhor livro infantil que eu já li na vida, mas ele é bem divertido e ótimo pra crianças entre 3 e 5 anos, elas engajam bastante e ficam bem concentradas.
Fun read aloud, flows so easily off the tongue. Sort of disappointed that we never see the titular bear. I am craving strawberries now.
A favorite from my own childhood, I ordered the board book version of this title for my own kids. The illustrations still stand up, and the trim size of this edition allow readers to appreciate the art fully. (The copy I had as a child was IMMENSE, or at least seemed so.)
I read this book with my almost two year old daughter. And then we read it 7 more time at her request. Then we shared a bowl of strawberries.

I grew up with this book and still have my tattered paperback copy as one of the ten children's books I really remember reading over and over and won't give away. Sweet, glowy soft illustrations, an adorable mouse, a radiant strawberry and an original story that involves the narrator speaking to the mouse and freaking him out! Hahahaha
