"Fleming's feisty mouse peeks out of a hole in the wall and spies a table laden with goodies-a smorgasbord of fruits and vegetables in bold colors. With each turn of the page, the hungry mouse samples one colorful food after another: crisp white turnip, tasty orange carrot, sweet yellow corn, tender green peas. Children will love to guess what food comes next..." --Booklist "A well designed, joyous romp through food and color." --School Library Journal, starred review "A beautifully crafted book." --Kirkus Reviews, pointer "Soup's on in this tummy-tempting concept book." --Publishers Weekly
