4.0 out of 5 stars The Tale of Johnny Town-Mouse, April 2, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: The Tale of Johnny Town-mouse (Potter 23 Tales) (Hardcover)

This is a wonderful book for early readers about Two mice and their adventures into the unknown. Timmy, the country mouse goes into the town by accident and gets a big surprise at the very different lifestyles etc. This book really relates to real life situations and how people get really surprised and scared in a new place. I would reccommend this story to children who are in the process of moving or have a new friend in town. It will help them realize how everywhere is different.

If you prefer a paper copy of this story and other Beatrix Potter books I highly suggest: [...]
