What's Delicious Story About

Publisher Summary

“You ate the story?” says one mouse to the other in this funny, heartfelt read-aloud with pitch-perfect repartee and Barney Saltzberg’s signature take on the joys of creativity. Two mice–one big and one small–have a terrible problem. Little Mouse is looking for a story–they’re in a book, after all!–and Big Mouse has to admit the truth. The story is gone. And (gasp!) he ate it. That is not okay with Little Mouse, who is all ready to hear a story and will settle for nothing less. Saltzberg’s improvisational dialogue showcases both the patience required of true creativity and the dazzling on-the-spot storytelling that can happen when you get in the flow. In the end, these endearing mice work out their conflict– and make the reader realize that they’ve been delivering a story all along. Parents and children will want to take this satisfying comedic journey together again and again.
