Black pages and die-cuts both enhance the drama of a board book in which a little lost mouse is trying to find its way home at night. The die-cuts show glowing eyes in the dark, with a turn-of-the-page revealing the creature Little Mouse must pass. First it's a fox. Then there's a weasel, an owl, a cat, a crow, and two bats. Finally, Little Mouse encounters almost a dozen eyes. "Who's there, Little Mouse? It's ... your family!" The stylized look and overall muted tones of the trees and animals against the black pages are striking in this distinctive offering that effectively uses repetition in the narrative and surprise in the reveals. (Ages 6 months-2)
