First let's try the doghouse... "woof, woof!" barks dog as he chews on a bone. Maybe behind the shed door?..."squeak, squeak!" It's mouse eating an apple. Each page reveals a new surprise and a new animal until Little Rabbit peeks into the vegetable patch..."Crunch! Crunch!"...there's Brown Rabbit, and it's time for a carrot lunch!

This delightfully sweet storybook follows a duo of harvest mice as they explore the countryside. A unique mouse-eye view shows creatures in their natural habitats as the two meet a quiet rabbit, get a peek in an energetic sparrow’s nest, and make an amphibious acquaintance near the river. Exploring is tiring, but at the end of the day there is a cozy, warm nest to crawl back into, and the two mice dream of what nature will bring tomorrow. This title features twelve beautifully drawn animals to discover as Baker’s award-winning illustrations put fascinating creatures like badgers, ducks, and squirrels at your fingertips.
