內(nèi)容簡介:Description of this Book Rosa Maria loves to cook big meals for her big family. When there's room in the heart, there's room in the house, Except for a mouse . That's what her mother always said, so for one week, as she meticulously prepares for her youngest grandchild's birthday party, she takes extra care in tidying her kitchen. But strangely, important items -- like her wooden spoon, her big bolsa for grocery shopping, and even her mousetraps -- keep disappearing! Readers will love uncovering the clues in a purely visual narrative that reveals a family of mice preparing for a birthday party of their own. Vibrant paintings with brilliant comic touches, a winsome main character, jaunty rhythms, and playful refrains make Mice and Beans a feast for the eyes and ears.
Rosa Maria酷愛為自己的大家庭下廚。她的媽媽總是說“當心里有空間的時候,家里就會有空間”。
某天,當她在為孫子的生日派對忙碌的時候,突然發(fā)現(xiàn)很多重要的東西,例如木頭勺子,買東西的包,甚至是捕鼠器都消失不見了。
讀者們會通過純粹的“視覺”發(fā)現(xiàn)故事的線索:老鼠一家正在準備自己的生日派對
作者簡介:Born and raised in California's San Joaquin Valley, Pam Mu?oz Ryan comes from a background that is an ethnic mix of Spanish, Mexican, Basque, Italian, and Oklahoman. She has written books about Mexican migrant workers, the American Wild West, daring women, historic concerts, and mice and beans. "That's part of the enchantment of writing and creating characters - the variety," Ryan says. "I enjoy that there are many diverse parts to my job." Ryan is the author of more than 25 books for young readers, including the multi-award-winning Esperanza Rising, which has sold more than two million copies. When she's not traveling in the U.S. and abroad to promote her work, Ryan lives in north San Diego County near the Pacific Ocean with her husband. Her four grown children frequently come and go, and her two dogs, Buddy and Sammie, keep her company while she works.
