Cinco De Mouse-O!

Author Judy Cox
Illustrated by Jeffrey Ebbeler
Yum! Yum! A delicious smell wakes up Mouse on the fifth of May!

He follows his nose down the street to a Cinco de Mayo festival. High up in a tree he spies a piñata magnifica. If only Mouse could get just one piece of candy from it. But look out! Cat is on the prowl. He is planning a fiesta of his own, and Mouse is on the menu.

Sprinkled with a few words in Spanish, this Cinco de Mayo adventure is a great read-alound for pre-school and kindergartners interested in other cultures or in sharing their own. The art is appealing and kid-friendly and filled with energy.
Judy Cox is an elementary school teacher and the author of picture books and fiction for young readers. She received an Anne Izard Storytellers' Choice Award for children for One is a Feast for Mouse, the first book about Mouse. School Library Journal called her Go to Sleep, Groundhog! "irresistible," while Booklist praised it as "charming." She lives with her family in Oregon.

He lives with his family in Chicago, where he also plays the trumpet and drums in local bands.
