A retelling of the classic fable follows two best friends, Milly and Tilly, two mice that live very different lives in very different surroundings, enhanced by richly detailed, full-color artwork.

Industry reviews
A fetching pair of plump, bright-eyed mice headline this sprightly British retelling of the story of the town mouse and the country mouse. First-time author Summers writes with flair, her affectionate descriptions giving character and individuality to the furry friends. Tilly, a homebody who is "every bit a country mouse, from the tops of her ears to the tip of her tail," rises early to do her "mousework" before breakfast, while town-bred Milly relies on the well-stocked pantry in the "Big House" where she lives. Reciprocal visits send each scampering back to familiar territory. Like Summers, Kneen (When You're Not Looking) has an eye for detail, and her delicate art, on full pages and in tender vignettes, brims with captivating touches, from the acorn-cap bowls and seashell soup tureen at Tilly's house to the winsome bonnets sported by the pair (a straw hat for Tilly, naturally, and a chic felt cloche for Milly). A book to be pored over. Ages 3-6. (July)

K-Gr 2 This charming retelling of Aesop's "Town Mouse and Country Mouse" finds sensible Tilly living simply in the country, working hard to get all of her "mousework" done and gathering food for winter. When Milly writes that she is coming to visit, Tilly cooks and cleans and waits for her friend. Milly finds country life much too quiet at night and full of frightening creatures: bees that buzz and a sheep that says, "Baaa." Then Tilly visits Milly, who lives in a luxurious doll house and eats all manner of treats from pastry to cheese in the humans' kitchen. A cat springs before they can get a bite and the two run for their lives. Tilly returns to her peaceful life in the country and Milly knows the risks of the town suit her. Illustrations reinforce the gentle feeling between the mice and extend the text, reflecting the artist's vivid imagination. Readers will enjoy every detail from the snail carrying Milly's luggage to Tilly's kitchen table set with a shell soup tureen and acorn tops for drinks. This version emphasizes the friendship between the mice not found in other picture-book offerings such as those by Jan Brett (Putnam, 1994) and Janet Stevens (Holiday, 1987). All three tellings could be read to show a variety of versions and detail. Milly and Tilly, suited to independent reading, will also be a pleasure to share at storytime. Susan M. Moore, Louisville Free Public Library, KY
