Mimi knows precisely what she likes: her stuffed bunny, her pet roly-poly bug (named Frank), eating bananas that are cut just so…and oh yes, forks. Young readers can spend a busy day with Mimi as she goes to preschool and plays with friends-all the while searching for Frank, who seems to have gone missing. Will he turn up before bedtime? Three-dimensional artwork gives Mimi and her world a touchably soft appeal for a book that will be a favorite read at nap time, bedtime, and story hour.
