This one was an okay book for me and the little one. Don't get me wrong, it has enough cuteness in it to read again, but just didn't live up to some of the other ones we read this past month. It did continuously remind me of Remy from Ratatouille and being told on many occasions to not take something that didn't belong to him. I know, I know, it's just a charming little story about a mouse who's hungry and trying to have a meal... ok lol.
On that note, it was a bit entertaining seeing the hungry little mouse find all the delicious goodness and try and lug all of it around, while also trying to avoid the mischievous cat waiting to devour him whole. It was a happy ending for him when he didn't leave the place empty handed, but I was kind of worried for the outcome of the next adventure as there were multiple threats waiting for him upon his arrival and the next place. Can't say it wasn't worth the read though, definitely a tasty treat.

The illustrations were adorable, and it was a great story for the kids to guess what happens next.

A cute story, good for storytime. Reminiscent of Very Hungry Caterpillar and hints of If you Give a Mouse a Cookie.

Erin read this for story time today and the autumnal color palette and mid-century inflected illustrations were so fun. The jar of cookies looked particularly wonderful. Story-wise it's pretty middle of the road. Cute, but not terribly special.

In this book, Little Mouse needs to find something to eat for breakfast because he's all out of food so he ventures into a house and finds a whole lot of food. He picks up different fruits and other items and lastly tries to pick up a yummy sunflower seed, which causes all the food he's picked up to fall with a crash. In the crash, he attracts the attention of the house cat! In his hurry to escape the house, Little Mouse only takes the sunflower seed home - but is happy with his breakfast. I thought this book was really cute and would be a fun way to demonstrate to students that sometimes the most simple things, even though they may seem small, can be the most helpful and beneficial. I think it could also be used in a lesson on being grateful for the things that we have.

We found this one by chance at the library, along with another one from the same publisher. It was quite interesting as I had never heard of Nosy Crow before. Both books are good but this one especially, so it deserves its own article!
Little Mouse's Big Breakfast tells the story of a mouse looking for his perfect breakfast as night falls and he realises he has nothing to eat for the morning. Just as he finds something perfect, he finds out he isn't the only one looking for breakfast.
I really liked the art. The illustrations are cute without being too cutesy (I mean, look at the mouse's little face with his big eyes!), colourful yet soft and not in your face. There is quite a lot of vocabulary about food, colours and adjectives, which is very good for language building.
Mr. Toddler really enjoyed listening to it and pointing things out in the pictures - at 18 months old his attention span is still quite short, so not all books grab his attention text-wise. He really liked the little mouse and the other animal (not spoiling!). I think we might buy this one for our personal library!

Love the perspective of the illustrations is big giving it the mouse point of view, would be fun to pair with If you Give a Mouse A Cookie.

Fun, silly adventure that is great for preschool-K about an indecisive mouse who might be a bit too greedy. Bold illustrations and surprises will hook young readers. Recommended ages 3-K.
