But she has a big heart, a big family, and more than anything she loves to cook big meals for them. \"When there's room in the heart, there's room in the house, except for a mouse.\" That's what her mother always said, so for one week as Rosa Maria meticulously prepares for her youngest grandchild's birthday party, she takes extra care in tidying her kitchen. But strangely, important items -- like her wooden spoon, her big bolsa for grocery shopping, and even her mousetraps -- keep disappearing!Readers will delight in uncovering the clues that reveal a family of mice are preparing for a birthday party of their own, and in the last picture, readers can search for all the items that have previously disappeared.Vibrant paintings with brilliant comic touches, a winsome main character, jaunty rhythms, and playful refrains make Mice and Beans a feast for the eyes and ears.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Scholastic Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/01\/2001\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780439183031\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 32\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.81lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.26h x 7.89w x 0.40d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e California Young Reader Medal - Nominee\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e NAPPA Gold Awards - Winner\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e North Carolina Children's Book Award - Nominee\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e Monarch Award - Nominee\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e Black-Eyed Susan Award - Nominee\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e Virginia Readers Choice Award - Nominee\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e Texas 2x2 Reading List - Recommended\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Review - Children\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/01\/2001 pg. 1131\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/17\/2001 pg. 79\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/15\/2001 pg. 233\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eSchool Library Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/01\/2001 pg. 130\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eMulticultural Review\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/01\/2002 pg. 103\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eALA Notable Children's Books\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/15\/2002 pg. 1234\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eHornbook Guide to Children\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/01\/2001 pg. 57 - Recommended, Satisfactory\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eHornbook Guide to Children\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/2002 pg. 57 - Recommended, Satisfactory\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAccelerated Reader Quiz #\/Name: \u003c\/b\u003e57947 \/ Mice and Beans\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReading Level:\u003c\/b\u003e 3.6 \/ \u003cb\u003eInterest Level:\u003c\/b\u003e Lower Grade \/ \u003cb\u003ePoint Value:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.5\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Pam Mu\u0026#241;oz Ryan","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43672931631285,"sku":"9780439183031","price":15.29,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_6812570e-a5c5-4476-914e-fad550929c9b.jpg?v=1709051943","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/mice-and-beans-9780439183031","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
