Keith Baker displays his trademark flair for color, movement, and rhythm
in this vibrant adaptation of the familiar nursery rhyme "Hickory
Dickory Dock." A companion to his acclaimed Big Fat Hen, this twist on
an old favorite features some serious antics on the part of a busy
little mouse. As a huge grandfather clock strikes each hour from one o'
clock in the afternoon to midnight, a different animal passes by, and
the mouse has a funny interaction with each of them.
With counting, telling time, and a cozy bedtime ending to engage them,
children will be chiming in for repeated readings.
