Parallel stories, active verbs and wild, colorful graphic patterns all keep young readers intrigued as they follow the tales (tails!) of two mice. A great introduction to the use of suspense in writing, a useful tool for teaching prepositions, and a fun way to compare outdoor and indoor worlds. After long journeys, an inside mouse and an outside mouse each arrive at opposite sides of a window and press their noses up against it to say "Hello!" Did they just meet today? Or do they visit every day?

This fresh take on the the classic country mouse and city mouse tale is perfect for young nature lovers.

Two mice, one who sleeps inside the house in a clock and one who sleeps outside the house in a stump, follow complicated but strangely parallel paths and meet each other at a window.
