Blueberry Mouse

Blueberry Mouse by Alice Low, illustrated by David Michael Friend 2004

A petite, blue mouse dwells in her blueberry house, and turns up her nose at cheese even if it’s blue. She speaks highly to us, and her mouse friends, about the benefits of dwelling in a blueberry pie. It gives her shelter, as well as a plethora of delicious snacks. As her belly fills, her house dissipates, and so she starts all over again.

“Blueberry, blueberry, blueberry cake is the best kind of house that a small mouse can make.”

The colors of Friend’s illustrations are rich and inviting. Watch out, you may be smacking your lips and heading to the market after devouring this book.

Appropriate for ages 4-8
