Little Mouse goes on an adventure in search of something sweet. He meets friends along the way that share their preferred treats with him, but none are quite right for Little Mouse. He is disappointed until he arrives home and realizes his Mommy baked the sweetest treat just for him – cookies! Written by Shana Hollowell and Illustrated by Jennifer Finch "Little Mouse's Sweet Treat by Shana Hollowell is a delightful story where readers are introduced to Little Mouse who wants to eat something sweet. The story is educational, informative, and adorable and it not only introduces young readers to different types of animals, but also teaches children what foods different types of animals eat in their habitat. The illustrations breathe life into the story and scenes and give good pace and movement. It is an excellent bedtime storybook and it will be a fun read in classrooms for their read aloud sessions. The author's lyrical way of expressing and the rhymes will appeal a lot to readers and make this a fun read." - Readers Favorite "The collaboration of Author Shana Hollowell and Illustrator Jennifer Finch,"Little Mouse's Sweet Treat," is an original and charmingly delightful children's picture book for babies, toddlers, and preschoolers. Unreservedly and enthusiastically recommended, especially for family, daycare center, preschool, elementary school, and community library picture book collections for children ages 4 to 6." - Midwest Book Review "Little Mouse is hungry for a sweet treat and sets out to find one among his friends. Each quickly responds to Mouse's query with a definite yes, but Mouse also quickly learns everyone has their own interpretation of sweet. His fun adventure, like most, leads him right back where he started: home. Where life is truly sweet." - Story Monsters Ink Book Review "The author uses simple sentence structure and short paragraphs in an effort to keep her young readers' interest. The author also uses rhyme, repetition, and onomatopoeia to help her young readers predict what will happen. She does a nice job using questions to create a journey for the mouse and thus move the plot along. The problem in the story is spot on - what child doesn't like sweets - and therefore children will be able to identify with mouse's dilemma easily. The mouse shows persistence, which is an important trait for children to learn in order to accomplish goals. I also loved the illustrations - they didn't make the pages busy and I found the colors were soothing." - Timesunion Book Review "If you are looking for a children's book for your child, children, or class, I highly recommend this book." - Land of Books and Honey "This delightful book is written in rhyme.
