The Tale of Johnny Town-Mouse
by Beatrix Potter from 1918
About
Potter's tale of the country mouse who visits the city and the city mouse who visits the country — each finding the other's world incomprehensible and alarming — is one of her most psychologically astute books. In typical Potter fashion, the story is brief, precise in its natural observation, and sympathetic to both mice. As group reading, the two mouse perspectives give natural character voices.
