In this sweet homage to the patience of mothers and the boundless energy of children, a mama mouse spends the day with her favorite little mischief maker. Just when Mrs. Brownmouse least expects it, impish Little Brownmouse loves to sneak up and surprise her with a shout. There's only one thing Little Brownmouse thinks is funnier: doing it again . . . and again! Children will relish Little Brownmouse's not-really-naughty antics, and moms will smile as Mrs. Brownmouse patiently plays along until it's time to snuggle into bed. Bursting with surprises and silly, noisy fun, this perfect read-aloud is sure to have pint-size pranksters begging, "Let's read it again!"
My 2.5 year-old and 5-year-old daughters asks for this book frequently at bedtime. The gentle rhythm of this story and the playful exchanges between mother and child make this one of my favorites to read too. The illustrations are soft with a sort of gentle glow about them. My oldest daughter especially loves to analyze the pictures and point out all the familiar items that are used to construct the world of this mouse family. You can't read this book without sharing giggles and hugs along with Little Brownmouse and her mother.
