Mice Squeak, We Speak (Scholastic printing, 1999) has only Tommy di Paola's name on the cover. On the title page, we see that this is a poem by Arnold L Shapiro. The text is only a few words; the book highlights Tommy de Paola's child-friendly art. Each page is a colorful portrait of an animal. "Lions roar." is illustrated with a lion's head with the words "roar roar roar" floating out of its mouth. Each animal page has minimal context. A mouse sits on top of a round of cheese; a sheep stands in a stylized field of greens. A dove perches on a roof, but one needs background knowledge to infer this. Three children appear on several pages to illustrate human speech.
This paperback is beautiful
work of art. I do wonder how often a child would want to read so little text. I
think it may be easy to flip quickly
through this book because there's not a lot to talk about on each page. I think this would make a perfect board book.
