Brief summary-When Little Mouse finds a delicious cupcake, he realizes it is much too large to bring home.  Little Mouse asks every friend that passes by for some help getting his cupcake home.  They all say it is too large, but they would like a bite.  Little Mouse is so kind and says yes to all his friends. Eventually, there is only a small piece of the cupcake left, and it is perfect for Little Mouse to eat!

I would use this book to teach how important and special it is to share with everyone.
