It's time for lunch, and one little mouse is
famished
! In fact, he's so hungry that once he starts eating, he can't stop. He sinks his teeth into a crisp
white
turnip, gobbles up some
orange
carrots, devours an ear of
yellow
corn, then tosses back some tender
green
peas. He's full, but this mouse keeps on munching until his bulging belly won't hold another bite.
Parents will see their own toddlers in this perky tale, and toddlers won't get enough of the gregarious little mouse. They'll proudly identify the colors of his (and their) favorite foods, and enjoy guessing what fruit or vegetable he'll eat next. Color-savvy readers are sure to spot the rainbow contained in the background pages-- and almost everyone will agree that this is one book about colors that makes the plain old primaries look positively pale!
