The Purple Ribbon

65 pp. | Holt | April, 2003 | Trade ISBN 0-8050-6659-4 $$17.95
(4) 1-3 Illustrated by Anna Alter. When Spring, a mouse, grows up, she receives an heirloom purple ribbon from her grandmother; the tales describe the uses Spring and her four babies find for the ribbon. The focus in this gentle chapter book is more on emotion than on action. Alter's softly colored illustrations of mice dressed in human clothes suit the quiet, sentimental tone of the text.
