Fourth of July Mice!

32 pp. | Clarion | May, 2004 | Trade ISBN 0-618-31367-2 $$13.00
(4) PS Illustrated by Doug Cushman. A group of mice celebrate Independence Day with a parade, a picnic, a ball game, sack races, a dip in a pond, and, of course, sparklers and fireworks. The energetic watercolors capture the holiday spirit better than the lackluster rhyming text, which--with lines like "Munch, munch, / crunch, crunch, crunch"--relies too heavily on repeated words and onomatopoeia.
