Keith Baker displays his trademark flair for color, movement, and rhythm in this vibrant adaptation of the familiar nursery rhyme "Hickory Dickory Dock." A companion to his acclaimed Big Fat Hen, this twist on an old favorite features some serious antics on the part of a busy little mouse. As a huge grandfather clock strikes each hour from one o' clock in the afternoon to midnight, a different animal passes by, and the mouse has a funny interaction with each of them. With counting, telling time, and a cozy bedtime ending to engage them, children will be chiming in for repeated readings.
My 14 months old daughter loves this book. I read it to her 3 times a day and each time she flips the pages with anticipation and a smile on her face. The illustration is very nice esp the big smiley moon towards the end. we love this book so much that we check it out from the library the same day we return it. the only down side is that it is not a board book which means that the pages tear fairly quickly for a 14 month old. I wish they could make a board book version of it.
