review 1: Little Mouse can't believe his luck when he finds a scrumptious looking cupcake. There's only one problem. The cupcake is so big that he can't carry it back to his house. Friends drop by in an attempt to help and taste the delicious cupcake. Soon the cupcake is small enough for Little Mouse to carry.What I thought: A charming book. The story reminds me a little of Clever Jack Takes the Cake by Candace Fleming in that baked goods disappear piece by piece. The illustrations are lovely. Soft colors and such good use of white space. My favorite is mole and the cupcake. I think this book would pair well with Bonny Becker's Bear and Mouse books.Story Time Themes: Friendship, Mice, Cupcakes
review 2: At first I was concerned that this title may be too alike to "If You... more Give a Mouse a Cupcake"...but it's a completely different book. It may be cutely paired with the former in a storytime about sweet things...or mice! Little Mouse stumbles upon a chocolate-chip, raspberry-cream cupcake (which sounds a little bit gross to me) that he sees as a yummy surprise. The problem: it's too big to carry home. With some help from his friends, they work it out...the audience will be on the edge of their seats during the tenuous moment right before the pleasing ending. This is a standout title for a readaloud once I'm back in the library! less
