This book seems a little dark for a children’s book. The mice prepare for there first Mardi Gras and make masks that look like monsters and forget they are mice and become the monsters.

This was a fun, but strange story about a group of mice celebrating Mardi Gras and getting lost in the celebration. The illustrations are very cute and similar to Frédéric. We enjoyed reading this story just after Mardi Gras and Ash Wednesday and talked about the celebration during this time of year at the beginning of Lent.

Not my favorite Lionni book - seemed more like a hastily finished idea. Of course, the illustrations, especially the full spread ones, are good and show cute mice.

I was disappointed in this book. The message could have been simple and sweet, but it just wasn't. I couldn't understand how the mice could forget who they were and suddenly act that way, it was against their nature. And I didn't care for the fact that they were celebrating Mardi Gras. I wouldn't recommend.

The winter days were mild, and during the long summer a cool breeze played softly in the grass....the little friends had a fine time, day after day.
