I’m told if you leave a mouse sized morsel next to a pile of socks that need darning, pants that need patches or a shirt with missing buttons, in the morning you’ll find the cheese gone and your clothes carefully mended.

Too Many Cooks Book Inspiration

rat_wragg

I picked up this book Too Many Cooks written by Margaret McNamara and illustrated by Nate Wragg, at the bookstore yesterday. I gotta tell ya…. I keep pouring over it again and again. Sure I bought  for the kid….not!

But I’ll share!

What a delightful rhyming book and the illustrations are nothing short of brilliant!

Millie the Mouse

Meet Millie the Mouse. She’s a curious little house mouse, who’s hobbies include; drawing, roller skating and of course reading!
Actually, she’s a paper doll that I’ve added to my website. For a printable version simply click on the “Fun” section and scroll to the bottom for Millie and her summer attire. I’ve printed several of them off for my two year old, as she keeps loving them into oblivion. She has no idea they are her mommy’s creation!

You’ll want to check back to see what Millie decides to wear next! http://www.robertabaird.com/
