Little Kid Reaction: My 4-year-old wanted to read this book over and over. It was the book he asked for first each night. He loved listening to it, although I suspect he also loved that the little mouse got to eat blueberry pie over and over again! I was surprised. My son typically likes high energy books, and I felt that this book was a little bit "girly", but he devoured every word in it.

This is a sweet tale of a mama mouse teaching her daughter about baking and where the ingredients come from. It's a simple story and it emphasizes how our food is made with love. I love that it shows the origins of our food; for example, it depicts how butter is made from cream that is shaken (a lot). The illustrations are adorable and the story is great for reading aloud. We really enjoyed reading this story together.

If you've ever taken the time to bake a cake, cookies or pie with your little one, this is a great story to share with them. Small mouse wants a snack. Momma mouse offers her a piece of cheese, small mouse is tired of cheese. She is craving something sweet. Together momma mouse and small go out together collecting things made with love to create a sweet tasting pie. All the things that gather together are made with love. Sharing this experience together is a symbol of love, caring and sharing.

I absolutely adored this sweet book about collecting ingredients from the farm to make a bit of something sweet, with a little bit of love. Dovetailing on Joel Salatin's book, Folks This Ain't Normal, it brought to my attention that all our food can and should be produced with love, and by our own hands, with gratitude, and freshly, and from local ingredients, when possible. Delightful illustrations. Few words.

This is another sweet book that's family oriented. It's a mother and her baby mouse and they are baking a pie. The mother teaches her little mouse about how everything parents do for their children is because of love and is made with love. This is also a great book for children who love baking. Grades prek-2
I would use this book to talk about the relationship between the mother and the daughter. I would also use it to talk about the resources each different place offers. I would turn that to real life and talk about the different resources we find in our community.
This book is a little too sickly sweet for me, but if you have a child interested in baking you talk about all the love that goes into making something. Also could be used as a "where food comes from" lesson
Cute, and though the baby mouse is a little dense, the idea that things that are worthwhile sometimes require effort and that love comes in different guises is one many families will appreciate.
Twee. Toothache inducing. Verbose. The illustrations could've been charming, but were unfortunately combined with sickeningly sweet and needlessly didactic text.
A simple story with a sweet message, but it is to didactic for my tastes.
Sweet, but nothing particularly new or attention-grabbing.
