I LOVE YOU, MOUSE

G. P. Putnam’s Sons, New York
(On sale May 1, 2008)
ISBN 978-0-399-25079-8

Publisher’s Note: “In wonderfully childlike verse, a little boy tells baby animals that he loves them, beginning with a mouse that he would take care of with a furry nest and a nibble of cheese. He goes on to a kitten, a puppy, a lamb, a bunny, and other familiar animals until it gets dark and his father picks him up and gently and lovingly puts him to bed. Just right for reading to the very young at bedtime or anytime…”
