Description: The Little Mouse, the Red Ripe Strawberry, and the Big Hungry Bear is one of the best books you'll ever find to teach early abstract concepts like why and emotions. It was so good, it was the feature selection in a research study on reading development conducted at Whispering Pines Preschool in Delanson, NY. The Little Mouse has a Big, Strawberry and tries to keep the Big Hungry Bear from eating it! He tries locking it up, hiding it, and then decides to eat it! The joy of this book is the anticipation of the Big, Hungry Bear, which we never get to see. A lovely and engaging way to teach anticipation.
