Cinco de Mouse-O!


A delicious smell wakes up Mouse. He follows his nose down the street to a Cindo de Mayo festival. High up in a tree he spies a pinata magnifica. If only Mouse could get just one piece of candy from it. But look out! Cat is on the prowl. He is planning a fiesta of his own, and Mouse is on the menu.

"Another winner from the team behind One is a Feast for Mouse"--Booklist

* "Ebbeler's feisty full-page illustrations of the world from Mouse's perspective expand on Cox's ebullient text and enchanting story line, establishing the adorable Mouse as a character that children, parents, teachers and librarians will want to follow from one celebration to the next." --Starred review, Kirkus

"With a tightrope-balanced Mouse and a wild ride atop the burro pinata, this action-packed tale combines Mexican tradition with adventure for young readers."--School Library Journal
