Preschoolers will recognize themselves in these very simple books that show Rosie the mouse feeling both "gentle" and "wild." One sentence per page tells how she cuddles her doll, turns pages carefully, revels in the bath water, or "bounces her baby brother on the bed." The small size of the books, the pastel watercolors, and the gingham borders are cozy.
