This tale does double duty as an intriguing mystery and a primer on collective nouns for animals. A group of squirrels-called a "scurry"-express concern when a "mischief of mice" who once played in the woods disappear. After the squirrels ask other forest creatures what might have occurred and accuse still others of committing foul deeds, an aptly named "sleuth of bears" step in to solve the puzzle. The game"s afoot-literally-as the bears wisely follow tracks in the snow, which lead them to a tree. Could the mice be inside? This delightful, clever book works on several levels: It"s an atmospheric tale, told in charming, effortless rhyme, as well as a terrific vocabulary builder that introduces kids to collective nouns such as a "clutter of spiders," a "skulk of foxes," and a "gaze of raccoons." These group names are fun to know, and adults sharing this book with youngsters can extend the learning by exploring the backmatter, which offers more information on the collective nouns, and then by asking kids to consider how well these group names suit the creatures.

Sticky-gooey, jam to spread with peanut butter smeared on bread. Nighttime is snack time for a mischievous mouse, whose colorful antics in the kitchen of a human family are a joy to follow. As anyone small in a big people's world can tell you, some mess is inevitable - milk spills, after all, and crackers scatter. Wielding enormous forks and knives is bound to be a difficult task. But Mouse isn't content to merely eat the food he finds: he rakes corn flakes into a pile to jump in, builds a castle out of sugar, and pops the tops off of bottles and jars just for fun. In a climax that will send young readers into fits of laughter, a tired and satiated Mouse refuses to accept the blame for the havoc he's wreaked: "'Who made this awful mess?' asks Mouse. 'These people need to clean their house!'" He takes a bath in a teacup and makes his way to bed, leaving children to imagine the reaction of the family coming downstairs for breakfast. Bursting with exuberance, Mouse Mess is a joyful ode to disorder. Linnea Riley's color-saturated collages were made using paper sponged with watercolor paint, and the resulting images are almost palpably multidimensional. Kids will rejoice in the mouse-sized perspective of the pictures, which refrain from giving a people's-eye view of the kitchen counter until the very end. Sure to entertain, delight, and even - beware - inspire, this gloriously bright picture book will be a favorite for years to come.
