This series is nothing if not predictable. A little white mouse says “That’s not my [robot/monster/train/etc.]” over and over, explaining why the item on each page is not the one he is looking for (usually based on their textures or colors). At the end of each book, the little mouse exclaims “That’s my [robot/monster/train, etc.]!” and then explains why. (For example, “Its antennae are so sparkly.”) These books were very popular through the toddler years–we had the robot, monster, and train versions and there were lots more at daycare. Strangely, the whole series is now out of print.
