One Is A Feast for Mouse by Judy Cox

After a human family finishes their Thanksgiving dinner, Mouse is overjoyed to discover the

leftovers, starting with a “teensy-tiny” pea: “One will be a feast for me.” Mouse gathers more

scavenged treats, from cranberries to a whole pie slice, until he builds a huge stack. When Cat,

who is also hungry, startles Mouse, the precariously piled food goes flying, and Mouse scurries

back to safety, without his festive treats. Happily, though, the original pea is still reachable, and

with renewed appreciation, Mouse enjoys a modest holiday meal.

and when she wakes on February 2, and recognizes the signs of an early spring that

her old uncle Phil misses, everyone realizes her dreams aren’t so farfetched.

Our Walk in the Woods by Charity Nebbe 

Nothing is more fun than a walk in the woods on a sunny spring day. Abby and her dog

Kirby get up early every Saturday to explore the hills above the river, but they don’t

always see things quite the same. Abby likes to smell the lovely spring flowers. Kirby

likes to chase the small animals he smells along the way. Abby checks out the animal

footprints in the mud. Kirby loves to burrow in the dirt. Although they may not always

agree, they’ll walk in the woods again tomorrow.

I’m Really Not Tired by Lori Sunshine

basement, a zoo in the guest room, and a rocket in Dad’s parking place.
