(3) K-3 After his cousin lures him to the city with tales of urban grandeur, the country mouse escapes a dangerous dog attack and learns to deeply appreciate the comforts of his own home. In her visually breathtaking retelling of Aesop's fable, Ward's watercolor illustrations use striking imagery to describe the lush countryside and bustling city (here New York City at Christmastime).
