Five Nice Mice

(3) K-3 Adapted by Kate Westerlund. Translated by Sayako Uchida. Five mice follow the haunting sound of music to a frog concert. Quickly barred ("Frogs only!"), they decide to create their own instruments and stage a mouse concert. Their show is a hit, and when the frogs arrive they all make beautiful music together. Warm textured illustrations help this story about tolerance and cooperation rise above its message-y undertones.
