(4) K-3 Illustrated by Anne Mortimer. A chocolatier feels uninspired until "one day, for no particular reason," he molds chocolate mice. His cat delivers them to other shop proprietors, unlocking a wealth of creativity that transforms the entire village from drab to delicious. Though the meandering text is hard to follow, richly colored illustrations on pages bordered with treats entice the eye and flavor the story.
