Share another vibrant autumn season with Mouse and Mole in the sixth installment of this Geisel Honor Award-winning series.""Eeny, meeny, miny, mumpkin --Which of you will be my pumpkin?"" Mouse likes Halloween.
In fact, Mouse loves Halloween. And with only a few days to go before the big day, Mouse has lots of preparations to make. There are decorations to hang up and pumpkins to carve -- especially for the big pumpkin-carving contest Mole does not like Halloween nearly as much. It is scary. It is creepy. And who left that broom on the front step? Thankfully a pumpkin-carving contest is not too scary.
But the pumpkin-carving contest is just the beginning of Mouse and Mole's Halloween adventures. What's Mouse to do when her best friend has turned into a big Scaredy-Mole? Theodor Seuss Geisel Honor Award WinnerWong Herbert Yee is a master of combining text and illustration for this age group. His onomatopoeic language paired with his vibrantly stylized illustrations make for an early reader series that is both artful and accessible.

On a hot summer day, a little girl finds ways to entertain herself and stay cool. She catches a butterfly, sips lemonade, jumps in a pool, and goes on a picnic. At night, she sees an owl in a tree and a frog in a pond, and hears leaves rustling. Before long, she's fast asleep, dreaming about more summer days and summer nights. As with his earlier books featuring this spunky little girl, Wong Herbert Yee's focus is on appreciating the small but special details that define a season.

"Just outside my window,
There are tracks in the snow.
Who made the tracks? Where do they go?"
A little girl follows tracks outside her window after a fresh snowfall, only to realize that the tracks in the snow are her own from the day before--and that they lead her home. This diminutive and sweet picture book is as cozy as a cup of hot chocolate. Like Ezra Jack Keats' "The Snowy Day," this lovely celebration of snow and winter is just right for the littlest readers.

Fireman small has a busy day rescuing people and fighting fires . . . and it's not over yet. Just as he's preparing for a good night's sleep, the fire bell rings yet again.

"Delightful. . . . A real winner."--School Library Journal "The friendly, cooperative tone of the text is reminiscent of the Frog and Toad series."--Kirkus Reviews "Yee's comfy beginning reader (dedicated to 'Friends of Frog and Toad') . . . packs in plenty of sweetness and civility."--Publishers Weekly
