Five little mice...one BIG babysitting job! When Little Ellie's mother needs to go out, she asks her friends the mice to look after her baby. The only problem is, Little Ellie isn't so little!... This description may be from another edition of this product.
This was one of those books I first checked out from the library and then ended up having to purchase because my toddler was always asking for "Ellie! Ellie!" The story is simple, short and perfect for her 1.5 year old attention span. The pictures are funny and really quite adorable. I don't mind my daughter's requests to read it to her over and over again, unlike some of her other books!

A Proportionately Great Read!

This review first appeared in the "Ephrata (PA) Review": When Mama Elephant, Flora, phones six mice to ask if they can look after her "little" Ellie, the mice say yes: "After all, you have to help your friends." Fanciful, clean-cut illustrations humorously display the conundrum the tiny mice face as they care for Ellie. Propelling her stroller uphill to the park is no small task. Pushing her on the swing requires real team effort. This short, sweet story should appeal to young children's sense of proportion-and sense of humor.
