Publisher: Farrar Straus Giroux 2005 32 pages

Summary:This is the story of a mouse that leaves his hole to go get a snack. The snack consisted of 1 piece of cheese, 2 plump plums, 3 baby carrots, 4 fried chicken legs, 5 ears of corn, 6 tasty tacos, 7 assorted jelly beans, 8 colorful cupcakes, 9 jolly gingerbread men, and 10 slices of chocolate cake. Just as he gets all on a plate, the cat wakes, and he throws it up in the air and the plate falls on the cat and the 1 piece of cheese goes into the mouse’s hole.

Response: I loved this book. It teaches counting in a very funny way.
