Notice the beautiful illustrations and attention to detail by Jan Brett

I am not too sure how I would choose to implement this into my classroom, but I do know that I would keep it in my classroom library for students to peruse at their leisure or would use it for a group read aloud with my students.

The book Town Mouse Country Mouse by Jan Brett is in the traditional literature genre. The colorful and lush greenery of the illustrations bring the story to life as if the two mouse couples were leaping off of the page. The book tells the story of the two couples that want to escape their everyday lives and whisk off to a getaway in the opposite mouses lives either the country or the town.

Town Mouse Country Mouse by Jan Brett (1994). The story focuses on two mice who visit each other's houses and experience the delights and challenges of their opposing lifestyles. Each page is full of charming details, from lively city scenes to calm countryside, allowing readers to immerse themselves in the story. The characters bring depth and emotion to the mice's travels, making them relatable and entertaining. The retelling will appeal to all.

This brilliantly illustrated rendition of the classic tale promotes lively discussions about the contrasting experiences of the town and country mice, allowing children to grasp different points of view.

"Its's a snake" ,he said

Come to the city! It‘s bright and exciting. You‘ll love it there!

I feel as though students could use their imagination and make inferences on what the mice found.

I feel as though this book is a good sequence book for students to read. Each mouse tries to figure out what they have found on the side of the pond.
