A humorous tale of two mischievous mice that must be read out loud In a snug country cottage a fat little mouse Enjoyed, undisturbed, the whole range of the house; With plain food content, she would breakfast on cheese, She dined upon berries, and supped on green peas. When a simple country mouse who eats plain country food goes to feast with her friend in the big, busy town, you've got to keep an eye on them! Is that a mouse nibbling cakes in the dining room? Oh no! Do you see that hungry cat? Read this humorous tale of two mischievous mice out loud. Follow the trail of five green peas in every picture. Look for the berries throughout the book. Search carefully for the mice hidden in each scene.

I picked this book because I've always enjoyed what I call "hide n seek" books. I wanted to give it as a gift to my grand-daughter but ended up keeping it. The story is wonderful and the illustrations are enchanting. I read it every time I'm in a not-so-very mood!
