Little Mouse's Happy Birthday — Jeanne Modesitt

Little Mouse plans to make her birthday the best ever not only for her but for her entire family. When Papa asks her what she would like to do on her special day, Little Mouse says she would like to go to the beach and build sand castles. (Her baby brother is thrilled.)  Later, Little Mouse asks for a picnic by the river. (Papa loves a picnic by the river.) Finally, Little Mouse asks to fly kites in the meadow. (Mama loves flying kites in the meadow.) Jeanne Modesitt's endearing story about a little mouse's thoughtfulness is adorably illustrated by Robin Spowart.
