Five Little Mice

It’s snack time.
Felix twitches his whiskers and runs off.
“Felix, where’re you going?”
“I’ve noticed a nice smell with the tip of my nose.
Let’s go! Come with me, we’ll follow this path.”
But Fede has seen a candy and says:
“No, no. I’m staying here.”
Felix looks for food for him and his cousins.
Now there’re 1, 2, 3, 4 little mice.

It is snack time and Félix has noticed a delicious smell with the tip of his nose. There are five little country mice, Fede, Fabi, Flor, Frida and Félix, who, one by one, are tempted by strawberries, sweets or popcorn.
A rhythmic and amusing story that refers to the themes and structures of the oral tradition, where the characters progressively diminish and then increase through the use of repetition. The warm and detailed illustrations show us from the secrets of the mice’s burrow to the different places in the house through which the main characters pass, with elements of everyday life that children will recognise.

Key points

• Rhyme and rhythm in a formula that adapts to all languages.
• An ideal resource for narrating it to the youngest children.
