review 1: A little mouse ventures forth to scrounge a lone pea from the table after Thanksgiving dinner. After all, he's little, and "one will be a feast for me." On the way back to his hole, though, his attention is snagged by first one, then another of the tempting leftovers. Each time he adds just one to his armload: "one is a feast for me." Of course, items add up quickly. I love the message of being satisfied with enough, rather than pursuing excess. The painted illustrations are warm and appealing. It's a solid Thanksgiving storytime choice. Somehow, though, it just doesn't hit that sweet-spot for me.
review 2: Mouse checks to make sure that everyone is sleeping (including the cat) before he goes to examine the leftovers from their Thanksgiving feast. He first see... mores a small pea and says "one will be a feast for me" but then he spots more food and becomes greedy and as he is about to head back to his home with tons of food that will be way more than enough the cat wakes up and finds him. So mouse runs back to his home.This is a good story about all of the food that is normally present at Thanksgiving as well as a lesson on what can happen when you are greedy. It is a little long so it may not be good for really little kids but this might work for pre-k and up. less
