Such a Little Mouse by Alice Schertle illustrated by Stephanie Yue**

"Such" a sweet "little" story!
My sister in law loves this author so I had to check out Ms. Schertle's newest book.
The reader experiences the four seasons through the eyes of a "little mouse".
I love the repetitive refrain "Every morning in_____(fill in with season), one, two, three! He pops out of his hole."  Children will be counting with you by the time you come to summer.
Love the word choice-clump, "ears pink as petals",  "twitchety whiskers", prickly,sprig-just a sampling!  Great word exposure for little ones.
Perfect story for a 9 month old-preschool years.
The illustrations are sweet and interesting-a few cutaways (mouse's home, inside toad's flower pot).
**Highly, highly recommend.
