Country Colors, City Colors: A retelling of Aesop's fable The Town Mouse and the Country Mouse Betty Farber

In this modern retelling of the Aesop's fable, the country mouse and the city mouse each gain a new appreciation not only for their own familiar neighborhood, but for those surroundings that are different from their own. Artist Ann Hogue's amazing watercolors illuminate the beauty of both settings. This book follows two mice, one from the country, one from the city. Each thinks their home is the most beautiful place. First they visit the country.

"Look!" cried Country Mouse.

"RED roosters crowing, near

RED barns, with

RED rosebuds growing all around.

Told in verse, this book will delight both young and old. And it brings these friends together, closer than ever by the end of the book--just what is needed in the world today.
