This book is classic. It is one of my favorites to read when my students are having a hard sharing. Great book to have around. (

I sort of liked the story thanks to the expressive pantomime of the mouse. But then my wife pointed out that the narrator was a con artist using demagoguery to stoke fear in the mouse of a hypothetical enemy in order to appropriate half its food supplies after it had done all the harvesting work. That's a messed up lesson to pass on to children. (

Book description

Esta é uma divertida fábula sobre a esperteza dos pequenos contra a força dos gigantes. O ratinho que protagoniza as cenas tenta esconder um morango maduro de um grande urso que, aliás, não aparece na história. Um interlocutor oculto, mais esperto ainda que o rato (e com o qual a criança se identifica), é quem vai narrando a história, ao mesmo tempo que convence o ratinho a dividir o morango com ele.
