A mouse couple living in a town are enchanted by the simple life of the country, and, while on a picnic, meet a pair of local mice who long for the luxury and convenience of the city. Homes are swapped, but they find that reality is different from their expectations. Both couples end up fleeing from unfamiliar, predators-a cat in town and an owl in the country-all the way home. Reinforcing the adaged --There's no place like home.

The Short Tales Fables make life's truths available to the youngest readers. Aesop's tales are brilliantly retold in a simple, easy-to-read style. These strikingly illustrated fables provide the morals to live by and entertain readers of all ages. Short Tales is an imprint of Magic Wagon, a division of ABDO Group. Grades 1-4.
Grade 1-3?A fast-paced, yet poetic retelling of the well-loved fable, enhanced with Hannon's charming illustrations. This version features two female cousins, both of whom learn the lesson "there's no place like home." The full-bled artwork depicts the anthropomorphized mice (life-sized on some pages) in sun or hearth-lit scenes. The print is large and easy on the eyes. Unfortunately, some of the brilliant color and sharp details of the cover illustration are lost on the interior pictures where the printing is dulled by inferior paper quality. Nonetheless, this is a fine choice for beginning readers whether or not they are familiar with the story.?Gale W. Sherman, Pocatello Public Library, ID
