From School Library Journal
PreS-Gr 1—What exactly is up in that tree, out of reach? Readers will have a chance to immediately make guesses with the help of a die-cut shape in the sturdy cover that reveals a shiny red orb. Mouse thinks it's a marble that she would like to have. Being too small, she recruits her friend Mole, who thinks the object is a balloon, and then Rabbit, who is sure it's a ball. Teamwork is needed, so on a vertical foldout page, Mole stands on Rabbit's head and Mouse balances on the tip of Mole's nose. They stretch and wobble and still aren't able to reach, but their crash-landing manages to dislodge a harvest of fruit from the tree. "Look what we can do when we help one another!" is the solid message. Between the bold, mixed-media illustrations and the opportunity to turn the story into a game (which animal is right? How can they work together? What do you think it is?), there is plenty here to hold children's attention. VERDICT An engaging addition.—Joanna K. Fabicon, Los Angeles Public Library
