With help from her mother she cleans and bakes and decorates -- and before she knows it the big day is here! The talented mother and daughter team of Eugenie and Kim Fernandes draw children into a delightful world of color and activity.

In this rhyming tale, and use of opposite words Little Mouse prepares each day for a fun time to be had at the week's end. She only has a week to get things done, but her diligence pays off, and fun is had.
