In this modern retelling of the Aesop’s fable, the country mouse and the city mouse each gain a new appreciation not only for their own familiar neighborhood, but for those surroundings that are different from their own. Artist Ann Hogue’s amazing watercolors illuminate the beauty of both settings. This book follows two mice, one from the country, one from the city. Each thinks their home is the most beautiful place. First they visit the country.

Look! cried Country Mouse.
