Customer Review: PEEKING ENCOURAGED
Children often hear "No peeking!" A clever book designer encourages them to peek in this story of two mice cousins who temporarily trade residences. Cleverly placed peepholes encourage youngsters to peek and see what new adventure awaits each mouse before turning the page. Not only is this a fun book, but there's also a moral to the story: There's no place like home!
Customer Review: Classic tale with beautiful illustrations
This book tells the "grass-is-always-greener" story of the city mouse and the country mouse. One day, the city mouse wakes up and decide he is unhappy with his lot in life. He and his wife pack a picnic lunch and go off for a holiday in the country. There they meet the country mouse, who is enthralled by the smell of city cheese, and the mice decide to do a house swap. However, they each find that they don't have the skills and knowledge necessary for survival in the other's environment. Attacked by cats and besodden in a thunderstorm, they rethink the arrangement and return home. Very young children may find some of the predators a bit scary, but older children should be able to handle the tension and enjoy the humor as well. The book has about 1100 words.
