A strawberry?

One of Sam's favorite books now is "The Little Mouse, the Red Ripe Strawberry and the Big Hungry Bear." In it, a mouse picks a strawberry but is warned by the narrator that the big hungry bear might come eat it, so in the end they split it in two and both eat it all up before the bear can.

Another of his favorite books is called "You can do it, Sam" about a bear who delivers cakes to his neighbors all by himself. At the end, Sam and his mother share the extra cakes and it shows a picture of mice eating the crumbs. The other night we pointed to the mice in the book and asked Sam what they were eating. He sat and thought for a while and then said, "Strawberries?" A very thoughtful guess...after all, the only mouse we read about eats strawberries! We just thought that was very cute, but maybe you had to be there.
