(4) K-3 Illustrated by Amelia Lau Carling. A mouse family living in an old theater decides to put on its own show. The youngest mouse finds a clever way to use both audience participation and bilingualism (of sorts) to frighten off a predatory cat mid-performance. Inspired by a Mexican American folktale, the story has a deliciously slow build. The illustrations are a bit awkwardly rendered.
