(3) K-3 In this reimagining of "The Town Mouse and the Country Mouse," lush acrylic gouache paintings have fun with both settings: a "country meal of rice, beans and barley" before a folksy jamboree; colorful skylines and a subway station in which mice dance to a boom box. Christie balances honoring Aesop's fable and infusing his version with a hip, modern-day sensibility.
