Illustrated by
Kim Fernandes.
To prepare for her birthday party, Little Mouse does a different task every day. On Monday she cleans house, on Tuesday she does laundry, and so on. The perky rhyming text highlights opposites: "Balloons are fat. Balloons are thin. / She takes some out and leaves some in." The detailed illustrations, made from modeling clay, have an eye-catching three-dimensional effect.
