A wonderful picture book from the creator of The Very Hungry Caterpillar.
Do you want to be my friend? asks a little mouse of a horse, a peacock, an alligator and others in this classic and charming story. Only when he meets another little mouse, is the answer unequivocally, Yes!
Each page of this ingenious, all but wordless picture book affords surprise, suspense, and repeated pleasure for the viewer. Booklist
