Loading... Town Mouse, Country Mouseby Jan Brett
None. I thought this was a really sweet book. It was simple but well written, with very nice pictures. The book was set at Christmas time, but wasn't really about Christmas, which was kind of refreshing. It's nice that it can be a good book to read at Christmas time but not only at Christmas time. I liked the message of the story - which was basically about not realizing what you have until you lose it, and appreciating your home. ( )This book tells a great story of two mice who think that the grass is greener on the other side. Each mouse thinks that they would rather live somewhere else: the country and in a town. But when each mouse gets what they wish, they realize the new surroundings are very dangerous. Eventually, each mouse realizes they miss their home and learn to be thankful for their surroundings. It's a very cute story with vivid illustrations. SUMMARY: A town mouse and a country mouse want to switch homes because they both think that the grass is greener on the other side until they discover how dangerous each other's lives really are. PERSONAL REACTION: I thought it was a humorous book and reminds me how things aren't always greener on the other side. EXTENSION IDEAS: Compare the city life to the country life. Great book to discuss opposites. Cousin mice decide to trade homes only to discover the grass isn't always greener on the other side. no reviews | add a review
