(3) K-3 Illustrated by Joe Cepeda. Rosa María takes pains to keep mice out of her house as she prepares for her granddaughter's birthday party. Nevertheless, the vibrant illustrations show a band of mice pilfering her birthday supplies and, in the end, secretly helping with the celebration. Readers of this clever story will chuckle at the skillful collaboration between author and artist. A pronunciation guide is included for the sprinkling of Spanish words in the text. Glos.
