Preschoolers can point out their favorite colors and name the foods they love the most. A well-designed, joyous romp through food and color.--School Library Journal, starred review. Full color. n nIts time for lunch, and one little mouse is famished! In fact, hes so hungry that once he starts eating, he cant stop.

Hes full, but this mouse keeps on munching until his bulging belly wont hold another bite. n nParents will see their own toddlers in this perky tale, and toddlers wont get enough of the gregarious little mouse. Theyll proudly identify the colors of his (and their) favorite foods, and enjoy guessing what fruit or vegetable hell eat next.
