Toddler to PreS—An interactive, lift-the-flap board book. Little Mouse wakes up one morning to find that her squeak is missing. Is it under the stairs? Maybe it is outside behind the gate. Or perhaps it is under a bush. The main story follows Little Mouse as she hears various sounds and investigates each one to see if it is her missing squeak. The star of this title is Robaard's beautiful watercolor illustrations, which charmingly depict Little Mouse's hunt.

VERDICT An additional purchase for libraries looking for gentle lift-the-flap stories.
