Town Mouse Country Mouse :: Jan Brett

Though we've read a few other permutations of the Town Mouse / Country Mouse story, I'll pick up anything illustrated by Jan Brett.

Of course, the town mouse and his wife trade homes with the country mouse and her husband. They both try to make the best of it, but have hard times adapting.





As always, the illustrations by Jan Brett are full of depth and color. I especially love the scenes in the forest, the layers of foliage and scenery. The mice are all nicely dressed, and even the owl and cat are suited.
