About this book

In this retelling of an Aesop fable, Country Mouse invites his flashy cousin, City Mouse, to see the simple life, only to have City Mouse mock the humble home and plain meals while bragging about his own luxurious existence. The two journey to the city, where the promised riches come with hidden dangers, and Country Mouse discovers that the glittering lifestyle carries a risky price. Realizing that his quiet, safe home offers true contentment, Country Mouse chooses to stay in the countryside, proving that peace outweighs opulence.
