K-Gr 2–Three mice bakery owners scramble to find the perfect recipe for their newest customer: a rabbit who is hosting a tea party for six friends and their families. Baking a treat for the adult rabbits is simple: carrot cake, of course! But the rabbit mothers have a total of 216 children, and the three mouse bakers have only one day to come up with something to feed the entire crowd. Predictable text and strong context clues provide just the right amount of challenge for emerging readers, with gentle humor and perfect pacing to keep readers engaged. This volume has the same timeless coziness that audiences expect from Rylant, and readers will be charmed by the big personalities of the three little mice. The illustrations are a perfect match for the text, communicating each mouse’s emotions and conveying a sense of frantic movement as they scurry to meet their deadline. Pair with Peggy Parish’s Too Many Rabbits and a cozy pot of tea.
VERDICT A first purchase.
