what could it be, go on squeaky little mouse, find out in the next page! This sets the tone for the entire book – I could imagine young toddlers squealing in delight and being deeply engaged in the plot and subplot of the story, possibly offering their educated guesses based on the hint of a tail, suggestions of a feather or a fur as could be seen in the right hand page. Whose green tail is this? Add a fuschia-feathered pointed tail - what animals could these two be? Turning the page reveals that the bushy tail belongs to a horse who seemed oblivious to our little mouse’s offers of friendship.
In this story book, we are introduced to a cute aquamarine mouse with luminous pink ears who begins the book with an eager “Do You Want to be My Friend?” to an animal with only its bushy tail evident and sticking out from the page. With Eric Carle’s distinctive two-dimensional illustrations brimming with textured almost-3d colors (bright green, purple, and golden brown), he introduces this endearing little mouse in his book published in 1971 entitled “Do You Want to be My Friend?” – a post for our Bimonthly special “When Words are Not Enough” – a Wordless Picture Book special for the months of March and April.
