Two mouse households trade places

Jan Brett’s retelling builds on the familiar contrast between town and country life by giving both settings to mouse couples ready for a change. Their exchange of homes brings unexpected adventures, while the book’s visual world moves between lush green country scenes and the refined details of a Victorian townhouse. The story pairs a folklore premise about different ways of living with the comic complications of trying someone else’s home.
