Town Mouse Country Mouse Jan Brett Views
Brett's exquisitely detailed illustrations bring this classic fable to life. In this story, two foolish couples trade their lives for something better (or so they think). The town mouse, dressed in silk and lace, finds herself battling a hungry black bird who tries to carry away her husband. The brave country mouse has to gently free his wife's tail when it gets stuck in the breadbox door. It does not take long for both couples to realize that they missed their once simple lives. Brett uses clever border illustrations to tell the story of the clumsy cat and owl who are stalking the mice throughout the book. After numerous inept attempts at catching the mice, the disaster-ridden duo find themselves ready for a vacation of their own.
Another meticulously detailed and beautifully illustrated story from Brett. In this retelling of Aesop's fable, the town and country are each represented by a mouse couple, both of whom share harrowing adventures. In the end they escape the bumbling cat and inept owl and realize that their original homes are where they belong. Brett gives an added ironic twist to the story with her owl and cat considering a switch of homes. Publishers Weekly Best Book.
