K-Gr 2-First challenged by Cat in "One Is a Feast for Mouse: A Thanksgiving Tale" (Holiday House, 2008), Mouse wakes up to a spicy adventure on May 5th, teased with tantalizing, nose-twitching aromas from his neighborhood Cinco de Mayo festival. A palette of pastels and acrylic paint details Mouse's innocent stroll (relentlessly stalked by careful Cat on the prowl) to the park until sights and sounds confront him with the reflection of his heart's desirean enormous tree-hung, candy-stuffed piñata. Ebbeler places readers up close and personal with a spread of the mouse viewing an elusive piñata, followed by a sombrero-seat view of the mariachi band, twirling skirts, and stamping heels. Visuals from unusual perspectives propel the action, while text and art on other pages reveal quieter "mouse" emotions. With a tightrope-balanced Mouse and a wild ride atop the burro piñata, this action-packed tale combines Mexican tradition with adventure for young readers."Mary Elam, Learning Media Services Plano ISD, TX"Copyright 2010 School Library Journal, LLC Used with permission.

Grades K-2 On the fifth of May, Mouse wakes to the smell of delicious foods and follows his nose until he discovers a festive scene: bright flags, children playing, mariachis, and people shouting, Viva Mexico! After being stalked by a cat and nearly trampled by enthusiastic children, Mouse still ends the day triumphantly, having experienced the fun of Cinco de Mayo. A brief introductory note explains the significance of the holiday, but Cox focuses on the days celebratory activities, illustrated in Ebbelers exuberant pictures. Another winner from the team behind One Is a Feast for Mouse (2008).(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2010, American Library Association.) -

In his second outing, Mouse follows his nose to a Cinco de Mayo celebration, which offers opportunities for scavenging and adventure. Lively acrylic paintings from a variety of perspectives show Mouse taking in the sights, trying to elude Cat, and getting a wild ride on a piqata. The resolution is weak, but readers will take away some information about the holiday.(Copyright 2010 by The Horn Book, Incorporated, Boston. All rights reserved.)
