Que felicidad! It's Cinco de Mayo, and Mouse follows his nose to the festival, where musicians play, dancers stomp, and delicious treats abound. Then Mouse spots a pinata and wants just one piece of candy...but he isn't the only one looking for a snack. Cat is planning his own fiesta with Mouse on the menu! This lively cat-and-mouse tale offers a humorous and easy introduction to the Cinco de Mayo holiday.
"A brief introductory note explains the significance of the holiday, but Cox focuses on the day's celebratory activities, illustrated in Ebbeler's exuberant pictures. Another winner from the team behind One Is a Feast for Mouse."
Booklist
"Visuals from unusual perspectives propel the action, while text and art on other pages reveal quieter 'mouse' emotions. With a tightrope-balanced Mouse and a wild ride atop the burro pinata, this action-packed tale combines Mexican tradition with adventure for young readers."
