The City Kid & the Suburb Kid

(4) K-3 Illustrated by Linda Bleck. In this city-mouse-and-country-mouse update, each of two boys eagerly anticipates his visit to see the other, who is living somewhere that seems "perfect." It's all pleasingly executed if unclear whether each boy's subsequent disillusionment with his friend's living environment reflects personal preference or just homesickness. Kids will be wooed by the turn-it-over-to-read-the-other-story format and the clean-lined illustrations packed with community-specific details.
