Town Mouse Country Mouse

Brett, J. (1994). Town Mouse Country Mouse. Illus. Jan Brett. New York, New York: G.P. Putnam's Sons.

Annotation: This is a cute story about two mice couples, one that lives in the country and one that lives in town, that trade their lives for the other couple's life. In the end the mice realize that the grass isn't always greener on the other side.
Genre: Fable
Grade level: Primary-3rd
Readers who would like this: This would be a good story for children that need reassurance that it is best to love what you have, because when it is gone they might realize what they were missing out on. It would be a good book for parents to read and a discussion starter.
Response/Rating: I give this book a 4. I love how authentic the illustrations were and how detailed even the smallest symbol in the book entailed. I personally love books that have a good moral or lesson behind them.
Question: Do some of you wish that you had something that someone else had and what would that one thing be?
