Synopsis
One house, two mice, three cookies . . . and the adventure begins. In gorgeously illustrated spreads and two-word phrases, this picture book takes two mice through their exciting and eventful day. Funny, lively, and easy to follow, the book offers the youngest readers the chance to count from one to three and back again.
Sergio Ruzzier's illustrations display his signature quirky, colorful, and slightly surreal view of characters and settings, and the text is a minimalist gem. It's a perfect book to share one-on-one with a young child and a lovely lead-up to bedtime.

Reviews
PreS-Gr 1—"One house/Two mice/Three cookies./Three boats/Two oars/One rower." Counting up to three and down to one again and again forms the structure and narrative of this slim story. Pen-and-ink illustrations show two mouse friends—sometimes naughty, sometimes grumpy, always together—having an adventure involving a shipwreck, danger, and the perfect pot of soup. The counting device, forward and backward, may confuse some children, while others will enjoy the simplicity and rhythm. VERDICT An unusual but sweetly satisfying offering, this title will be a lively addition to most libraries.—Martha Link Yesowitch, Charlotte Mecklenburg Library, NC
