Title: Rather Scary and Tricky for a young child
Review: Yes, this book has cute illustrations, but lots of them are showing the mouse's fear about the big hungry bear. You never see this bear, rather it is a narrative convention...the narrator suggests that there is a big hungry bear lurking who loves strawberries, so the mouse, shaking like a leaf tries to hurry and harvest the berry and hide it. But the narrator then tells him he can't hide it from the bear and the ONLY way to basically save himself is to half the berry and share it.I don't like the premise of this book, which is about using trickery (and outright lies) to get your way. The narrator (who we see is another mouse at the end) could have just asked for some berry. Or the main mouse could have just offered some. But from the start, the narrating mouse just scares him into sharing. Not the lesson I want to teach. I am returning my copy. I do not recommend, at least not for young children.
