A classic tale of two very different homes

Two mouse couples trade their familiar surroundings for life in one another’s homes, setting up a story of unexpected adventures. The alternating settings—green country scenes and a detailed Victorian townhouse—give the book a clear contrast between rural and urban life. Its premise also opens a playful question about what happens when everyday routines are exchanged for unfamiliar ones. Jan Brett’s picture-book edition draws on the classic tale and pairs its home swap with suspense and humor.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Children ages 4–8 interested in animal stories and classic tales
  • Young readers who enjoy picture books with contrasting settings
  • Families seeking a story about trying life in a different home
