CA 2012 USDA Approved NE Materials It's time for lunch, and one little mouse is 'famished'! In fact, he's so hungry that once he starts eating, he can't stop. He sinks his teeth into a crisp' white 'turnip, gobbles up some 'orange 'carrots, devours an ear of' yellow' corn, then tosses back some tender 'green' peas. He's full, but this mouse keeps on munching until his bulging belly won't hold another bite. Parents will see their own toddlers in this perky tale, and toddlers won't get enough of the gregarious little mouse. They'll proudly identify the colors of his (and their) favorite foods, and enjoy guessing what fruit or vegetable he'll eat next.
