I thought I had seen everything by Beatrix Potter, so I had to pick this one up when we saw it at the library.
It's a retelling of Aesop's story of the Town Mouse and the Country Mouse, and it's very well done. The pictures are charming, of course, and I love the conversational tone of the story that is so typical of Beatrix Potter.

My favorite part might be when Timmy Willie falls into the middle of th

I feel a lot like Timmy in this story about a mouse who accidentally travels to the city. I currently live in the city now and, like Timmy, crave the country. Maybe I will follow Timmy's actions and go back home. Johnny Town-Mouse, on the other hand, is perfectly content in the city.

This story is a picture book for nursery to primary readers. It’s about a little field mouse that accidentally ends up in town.

This tells the tale of Timmie Willie as he manages to find himself in the hamper on his way to town where he meets Johnny Town-Mouse and friends. After finding that town life is not to his taste, he makes his way home where Johnny visits and finds that country-life is not for him. A beautifully written and illustrated story that will appeal to adults and children alike
