About This Book
"Mice and Beans" is a delightful cumulative tale that follows Rosa Maria as she busily prepares for her granddaughter's birthday party. She cleans, cooks, and decorates, all while trying to deter any unwanted mouse guests. The charming twist is that, behind the walls, a family of mice is also preparing for a grand celebration of their own, mirroring Rosa Maria's efforts with their tiny, industrious hands. This book is perfect for children aged 4-8, offering a gentle narrative about family, celebration, and the fun of a secret, parallel world. It's a wonderful read-aloud that encourages observation and discussion about different perspectives.
