Little Bitty Mousie

(4) PS Illustrated by Michael Hague. In this alphabet book, a mouse explores and discovers things to eat around the house. The narrative vacillates jerkily between quaint descriptions ("She found a lady's Lipstick / In a shiny golden case") and more modern-day expressions ("She sniffed a candy Wrapper / That was thrown down by some kid"). Digital coloring makes the otherwise traditional-looking illustrations appear synthetic.
