Mouse's First Summer

32 pp. | Simon | June, 2004 | Trade ISBN 0-689-85835-3 $$12.95
(3) PS Illustrated by Buket Erdogan. Two mice hitch a ride in a picnic basket and experience the colorful delights of summer, described in Thompson's evocative text: "Drippy, sweet, / wet, / red watermelon"; "Oh, so high, / bright / blue sky"; "Sweet-tart sip, / yellow / lemonade." Illustrations with rich colors and pleasingly rounded animal shapes give a mouse's-eye view of the summer day, which ends with a fireworks display.
