2018—I didn’t even realize I had read this before, but I adore it! My first grade class loved it too, and even started reciting the refrain: “One is a feast for a mouse.”

A greedy mouse sneaks out to raid the Thanksgiving leftovers on the table. He stacks item after item on top of another as he heads back to his home. Great for school age children it has descriptive language, counting words, a repeated sequence, and a moral lesson.

I've been searching for some quality Thanksgiving Season children's books ... because, I know this may sound hard to believe but, there aren't many choices. This one, though, may be a winner. It MAY be a winner. I bought my copy used through Amazon. When it arrived, my children gathered around my knee and we began to test it's pages. Being a used copy, I expected a little wear and tear, but cute little "Amy" simply wrote her name on the inside flap. The pages were perfectly crisp and clean...Good job, Amy! Your parents have clearly shown you the correct way to handle a book!
The story is quite cute (though slightly repetitive...I will allow for some of this in children's books) and the pictures are sweet. The story builds up to a climax as we worry about what will happen to this mouse when...
Augggggh! Bad Amy! Bad Amy! Why have you ripped out the final and most important page in this most promising book?
Until further notice, I have assumed the best ending and based my rating on how I think this book should end.

A cute Thanksgiving read for children. A lesson to be learned in being thankful for what you have.
The artwork is just precious.

Very similar to The Very Hungary Caterpillar, where children have to remember which food goes first!

My youngest students love this book. The cumulative tale builds suspense for them at just the right pace.
