It's time for lunch, and one little mouse is "famished" In fact, he's so hungry that once he starts eating, he can't stop. He sinks his teeth into a crisp" white "turnip, gobbles up some "orange "carrots, devours an ear of" yellow" corn, then tosses back some tender "green" peas. He's full, but this mouse keeps on munching until his bulging belly won't hold another bite. Parents will see their own toddlers in this perky tale, and toddlers won't get enough of the gregarious little mouse. They'll proudly identify the colors of his (and their) favorite foods, and enjoy guessing what fruit or vegetable he'll eat next. Color-savvy readers are sure to spot the rainbow contained in the background pages-- and almost everyone will agree that this is one book about colors that makes the plain old primaries look positively pale
小老鼠在墙上打了一个洞，从洞里他看到桌子上摆了一盘色彩斑斓的水果和蔬菜，随着页面的更迭，饥饿的小老鼠看到了一种又一种色彩鲜艳的实物：看上去脆脆的白萝卜，美味的橙色胡萝卜，甜香的玉米，嫩绿色的豌豆.....

Denise Fleming是美国的作家及画家，曾获得凯迪克大奖。她的作品风格独特，色彩绚烂。善于运用不同的纤维、颜色，呈现立体与生动。

打开Denise Fleming的书，满本都是五彩缤纷的颜色。仔细观察，每种颜色都不是单一的纯净色，深黄中隐现着浅黄，棕中有红，绿中有蓝，虽然看似纷乱的色彩却正符合孩子的认知视角，也正是这种混搭的颜色赋予了图书的立体感，同时又充满了童真童趣。不规则的线条、看似凌乱的画面在孩子的眼中应该是童话世界般的多姿多彩。
