About This Book
A parent might reach for this book when their child is feeling envious of a friend's life or is facing a new environment that seems intimidating. This classic fable follows two mouse cousins, one from the peaceful countryside and one from the busy town, as they swap homes for a visit. While initially thrilled by the novelty, they soon find that the 'better' life comes with its own challenges, leading them to appreciate their own homes more than ever. It gently explores themes of gratitude, contentment, and understanding that what's right for one person isn't right for everyone. Perfect for early readers aged 6-9, this story is a wonderful tool for discussing what truly makes a place feel like home.
