PreS--A whimsical tale about a young rodent and all of the things he fears. Luckily for Little Mouse, Mommy Mouse is always there to calm his worries. One by one, she discusses each concern and encourages him to be brave. Some of the many things Little Mouse fears are bugs, owls, illness, and thunder and lightning. Hilb's beautiful illustrations are done in soft, muted colored pencil lines and express the emotion and anxiety Little Mouse is feeling, thus supporting the simple text. Mommy Mouse and Little Mouse are charming and endearing characters to whom preschoolers will relate. A perfect choice for one-on-one or bedtime reading. VERDICT A sweet story that young children will love, and a great tool for parents who are looking to help their children overcome their fears.--Megan McGinnis, Sachem Public Library, Holbrook, NY
