Shh...! Little Mouse has a secret! He's found a delicious-looking apple and doesn't want to share a bite. So he buries it, and no matter how many of his friends ask what he hid, Little Mouse won't tell. But when a tree sprouts from the seeds of the fruit, there are enough apples for everyone-and Little Mouse realizes some secrets are even better when they're shared.

Award-winning illustrator Éric Battut has created a charming picture book that will delight-and teach-children.

Kids will delight in knowing more than Mouse as they watch the apple tree sprout behind him
