<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>After a human family finishes Thanksgiving dinner, Mouse is overjoyed to discover the leftovers, starting with a teensy-tiny pea. Mouse gathers more scavenged treats, from cranberries to a whole pie slice, until he builds a huge stack. Full color.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>One tiny, happy mouse's simple Thanksgiving dinner gets bigger and bigger. . . and bigger! Uh oh!</b> <p/>This perfect Thanksgiving read-aloud gently reminds us to give thanks for the little things in life-- and not to let our celebrations get <i>too </i>out of hand! <p/>After a family finishes Thanksgiving dinner, Mouse peeps out of his hidey-hole and spots a small green pea. It's the perfect feast for one mouse. But maybe he could add just one red cranberry, and then one shiny black olive, and then just one scoop of mashed potatoes? Soon his single pea has turned into a tall, wobbling feast. But how will Mouse ever get everything back home without spilling? <p/>With a building, rhythmic text and mouth-watering illustrations, <i>One is a Feast for Mouse</i> is a cheery holiday read where one more <i>tiny </i>thing might topple the whole adventure. <p/>For a smaller serving of this delicious tale, try the board book edition <i>Mouse's Thanksgiving-- </i>just right for the youngest readers. Perfect for fall story times, or to share as a gift with loved ones and family both near and far. <p/>Don't miss the other Adventures of Mouse, including <i>Cinco de Mouse-o</i> and <i>Snow Day For Mouse.</i> <p/><br> <p/><i><br></i><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>Ebbeler's full-bleed, double-page spreads make the most of the humor made available by situation and scale--spot the bespectacled mouse dwarfed by his pile as he marches past Pilgrim salt-and-pepper shakers just his size. Greed goeth before a fall, however, in a slapstick climax children will relish.--<b><i>Kirkus Reviews</i></b><br> <b><i> </i></b><br> Cox's prose is descriptive and lively . . . The colorful, animated, mixed-media illustrations show the world from a rodent's perspective, with familiar foods and household items shown in towering proportions. Particularly dramatic is a vertical spread that depicts small Mouse beneath his tall, turkey-topped food pile as Cat's face looms at the table edge. This entertaining story may be a good starting point for discussions about appreciation and excess.--<b><i>Booklist</i></b><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Judy Cox is an elementary school teacher and the author of picture books and fiction for young readers.
