Little Mouse worries that the big, hungry bear will take his freshly picked, ripe, red strawberry for himself.

In this cumulative tale, a chirping cricket calms a worried mouse, a prowling cat, and other restless creatures, helping them to finally fall asleep.

A young boy describes himself as "loud as a lion, " "quiet as a clam, " "tough as a rhino, " and "gentle as a lamb."

Five beautifully adapted stories that encourage a love for reading for the pre- or early reader. In the beloved classic The Napping House, Granny and all the critters in her house pile on her bed for a nap ... until a little flea causes a big stir. Somebody's got an itch! Other stories include Each Peach Pear Plum; Drummer Hoff; Bear Snores On; Wild About Books.
