SOLVED. Wordless Picture Book About a Little Mouse Who is Jealous of the New Baby in the Family. [s]

[Chloe]

Hello everyone,

I'm searching for a picture book about a little mouse (a "child"--a boy, I believe) who becomes jealous of all the attention the new baby (a girl, I think--possibly the boy's new sister) in the family is getting. They threw a big family gathering (enough mice that there were definitely aunts, uncles, cousins, grandparents, etc.) to welcome the baby. I distinctly recall a page set out on the lawn of the house where everyone was socializing, probably at an aerial angle. The baby was in an old-fashioned bassinet stroller.

The book didn't have any words, so you figured out the story just from the illustrations. It might have been in black and white--the mice (or at least the main character) were white for sure. It was not in a cartoony style.

I read the book between 2004-2006. We received it from the library for free because one of the pages had been ripped and re-taped. I really wish I hadn't gotten rid of it--the book is fairly dear to my heart.

Thank you so much for your help!

New Baby for the link.

The mice aren't white in this one, but New Baby?

Yes, thank you, everyone! Strange, I could have sworn they were white.

Glad to help! It looks really lovely.
