The Completed Hickory Dickory Dock

The Completed Hickory Dickory Dock by Jim Aylesworth and illustrated by Eileen Christelow is a fun continuation of the beloved rhyme for children. Everyone knows what the mouse did when the clock struck one, but what about the rest of the day? Kevin, whose name we find out at seven, finds all sorts of adventure. Escaping from a cat and courting a pretty young mouse make for a busy day, but Kevin has the time of his life. When the adventuresome mouse finally gets home, he eats some delicious blueberry pie and settles into bed just as the clock strikes twelve. This paperback book is perfect for children ages 4-7 years.

"What Mother Goose began, Aylesworth and Christelow have completed in an appealing book that begs to be read aloud." -School Library Journal
