All in One Hour

All in One Hour


by Susan Stevens Crummel
Concept and Pictures by Dorothy Donohue


A lot can happen in one short hour.  When a mouse nibbling a cookie wakes a sleeping cat, chaos ensues.  The Cat chases the mouse, the dog chases the cat and then the group is joined by a dog catcher, a bank robber and a policeman. In the style of "This is the House that Jack Built", Stevens-Crummel takes readers on a high-speed chase!  How will it end?

Without question, Dorothy Donohue's amazingly detailed paper cut-outs bring this simple rhyming tale to life.  During kindergarten story time, students want to study the pictures on each page.  They also enjoy the rhythm of the story and beg for a second (or even third) reading.  Simply stated, All in One Hour is FUN!
