Jan Brett's "Town Mouse, Country Mouse." Beautifully illustrated.
A wonderful book, Jan Brett has beautiful illustrations
Jan Brett is a brilliant author and the illustrations are always beautiful.
A classic "the grass is always greener on the other side of the fence" story, Jan Brett delivers the tale with gorgeous artistry to accompany pithy prose. A delight to read aloud, this book will remind readers young and old to be grateful for where God has placed you and not to envy those of a different situation.
I love this author. Her stories are adorable and her illustrations are super. All her books are great.
Lovely Copy!
This book was an absolute delight! The story of the town mouse and the country mouse is a classic and a goodie, and Jan Brett did a fantastic job retelling it! Rather than having one mouse per, she made her characters into couples! This adds a suggestion of sweet romance that will have the little girls swooning and the boys, of course, gagging (but what can be expected?)
The story goes into surprisingly complex reasons for why the mice move. The way they switch is charming. Post-move, however, they have their various misadventures, and Brett is quick to let us know how the proper mouse couple could have handled the situation. The dialogue is clever and cute, as well as the descriptive prose. As usual, much of the story is said with pictures, but when writing there is a great amount of detail and foreshadowing. Best writing from Brett I have seen!
Cute, detailed, and a great length for a long-time read, and the final punchline is clever and hilarious. Plenty of lessons and entertainment right here!
