(no subject)
1. mouse soup
Beginning with the simple sentence "A mouse sat under a tree", the book goes on to tell the story of a mouse who has to trick Weasel from turning Mouse into Mouse Soup. He does that by telling stories about Bees and the Mud, Two Large Stones, The Crickets, and The Thorn Bush, and tells Weasel to put them into his soup. It is then assumed that Mouse got away and Weasel got stung by bees.
2. where the wild things are
The book is about the imaginary adventures of a young boy named Max, who is punished for making mischief by being sent to his room without supper. Max wears a distinctive wolf suit during his adventures and encounters various mythical creatures, the "wild things".
3. three little kittens
In 1858 R. M. Ballantyne wrote an elaboration of the poem under the title The Three Little Kittens, published as part of the Good Little Pig's Library, volume 1.
The rhyme can be seen as a cautionary tale involving the relationship between parents and children.
4. the walk the mouse girls took
The mouse girls and their mother walk through the woods to a sandy shore, gathering the items on mother's list into her shopping cart. The reason for the list is a surprise when they return home. A glossary of nuts, berries and leaves accompanies the text.
5. cinderella
The title character is a young woman living in unfortunate circumstances which suddenly change to remarkable fortune. The word "cinderella" has, by analogy, come to mean one whose attributes are unrecognised, or one who unexpectedly achieves recognition or success after a period of obscurity and neglect.
I literally ate the cover off of this book when I was a toddler.
