A baby mouse says their first word, and their second, and then many, many more in this hilarious and relatable parenting moment by Geisel Honoree Anne Hunter.
 


Baby mouse has learned to squeak. And now it’s squeak, squeak, squeak all day long.
 
Baby chats with new friends and old friends, big friends and little friends, and sometimes just chats with no one at all. Poor Mama needs a break . . .  but when Baby wanders off, Mama knows what to do: follow the squeaks!
 
Little readers will love this chatty baby mouse, and big readers will find Mama’s reactions very familiar . . . Anne Hunter’s delicate and lovely illustrations highlight the humor in this delightfully funny tale. 
ANNE HUNTER is a Geisel Honor-awarded illustrator and picture-book writer best known for her books about animals and nature. Anne grew up in Lake Worth, Florida, and now makes her home with the foxes and the owls and the skunks and her family in the woods of Southern Vermont. View titles by Anne Hunter
