Ms. Rabei transforms Mr. de la Mare's simple yet picturesque poem into a humorous story. Her illustrations build and extend on the poem so young children will enjoy it. How wonderful to be able to share beautiful language with younger children!
A farm family sits down to enjoy an evening treat. Mr. de la Mare then gives the reader a tour of the farm and relates what "dainty treats" the farm animals are savoring. Ms. Rabei focuses on the mouse encounter and imagines what chaos could ensue.
The warm colors with green depict a summer evening well.
Part of a series by Ms. Rabei-The Four Seasons.
*Highly recommend.
