I checked this out of the library right after reading Heather's review about it.

She was right, it was great. And it's a children's book that doesn't get old even after N x 14 readings. (If N > 1)

Note: While the following is a real review, it is also a shameless ploy to make my Goodreads reading challenge.

Our copy of this board book is dog-eared. Let that set in: The board book is dog-eared. That takes some repeated readings, folks. We weren't messing around with The Little Mouse or that Big Hungry Bear.

This classic from Don and Audrey Wood is great fun to read, giving parents plenty of latitude to put our all into the narration. And, as I mentioned, we read it a lot, so it was quickly memorized, making it even more likely that the Emmy Award committee would have called if we had had the time to make that recording.

Written and illustrated by Don and Audrey Wood this book is a preschool favorite. Little Mouse just wants to enjoy his strawberry, but what will he do when he finds out the big, hungry bear likes strawberries too? A fun read-aloud for the classroom, this book is easy for young children to memorize and retell.

This was my favorite picture book as a kid that my grandma used to read to me every time I went to visit her in California, and after years of asking for it, my grandma let me keep the book. I reread it and basked in its glory, reliving how much I loved hearing my grandma read it to me. It's cute and sweet and iuhsfjlkrjfhudijiosd childhood, dudes. i miss it.

I think the narrator is taking advantage of the mouse's generosity with scare tactics.

My favorite page is the one with the disguises.

This book is so special to me. I grew up with my mother reading me this book, and I read this book so many times to all 3 of my daughters. I will forever treasure this book and will pass it down to my grandchildren.
