Illustrated by
Jeffrey Ebbeler.
Mouse spies the remnants of a Thanksgiving feast. He starts by picking up one "teensy-tiny, toothsome, green pea," but soon his pile grows. Bright acrylic paintings from multiple perspectives show Mouse juggling an increasingly unwieldy mountain of food. Mouse drops most of his feast when Cat wakes up, but nonetheless remembers to "give thanks" for what he manages to salvage.
