Keith Baker displays his trademark flair for colour, movement, and rhythm in this vibrant adaptation of the familiar nursery rhyme "Hickory Dickory Dock." A companion to his acclaimed "Big Fat Hen", this twist on an old favourite features some serious antics on the part of a busy little mouse. As a huge grandfather clock strikes each hour from one o' clock in the afternoon to midnight, a different animal passes by, and the mouse has a funny interaction with each of them. With counting, telling time, and a cosy bedtime ending to engage them, children will be chiming in for repeated readings.
