The Barking Mouse

32 pp. | Whitman | March, 2003 | Trade ISBN 0-8075-0571-4 $$14.95
(3) K-3 Illustrated by Alfredo Aguirre. Two Spanish-speaking mouse siblings provoke a cat, who chases them back to their picnic site, where Papá, who has earlier bragged about his muscles, turns coward. Peppered with Spanish words and phrases, this tale shuns predictability to the end, when Mamá, who has scared off the cat by barking, notes that "It pays to speak another language!" The acrylic images feature four hilariously hammy mice. Glos.
