Thanks, Mom

by Ed Emberley

It all begins with a small hungry mouse and one delicious piece of cheese.
Mouse takes cheese until it runs into cat . . .
Cat chases mouse until it runs into dog . . .
Dog chases cat until it runs into . . .
And yes, it is Mom who makes it turn out all right for that hungry little mouse.
Thanks, Mom!

This is a fun and colorful book about the circus. About halfway through the book, I started wondering what the title had to do with the story, but at the end, it makes sense. It's a cumulative tale that is rather simple, but the illustrations make it fun. The characters reminded me of a fun website for little ones that I used to go to when our girls were little, called http://www.kneebouncers.com/

Favorite part: When the mice hugged each other, and Kiko's mom called him 'Sweetheart!' And when they were both eating that delicious cheese together!
