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. Color-savvy readers are sure to spot the rainbow contained in the background pages-- and almost everyone will agree that this is one book about colors that makes the plain old primaries look positively pale
小老鼠在墻上打了一個洞，從洞里他看到桌子上擺了一盤色彩斑斕的水果和蔬菜，隨著頁面的更迭，饑餓的小老鼠看到了一種又一種色彩鮮艷的實物：看上去脆脆的白蘿卜，美味的橙色胡蘿卜，甜香的玉米，嫩綠色的豌豆.....

Denise Fleming是美國的作家及畫家，曾獲得凱迪克大獎。她的作品風格獨特，色彩絢爛。善于運用不同的纖維、顏色，呈現立體與生動。

打開Denise Fleming的書，滿本都是五彩繽紛的顏色。仔細觀察，每種顏色都不是單一的純凈色，深黃中隱現著淺黃，棕中有紅，綠中有藍，雖然看似紛亂的色彩卻正符合孩子的認知視角，也正是這種混搭的顏色賦予了圖書的立體感，同時又充滿了童真童趣。不規則的線條、看似凌亂的畫面在孩子的眼中應該是童話世界般的多姿多彩。
