Annie Mouse lived quietly in the country. One day her friend from the city came to visit her—Annie was delighted! The country mouse decides she prefers her simple, but safe life in the country, flattery causes a crow to lose her piece of cheese, and greed causes a dog to drop his bone in a stream. A re-telling of three well-known fables involving animals, now retold by Patricia Scarry and illustrated by Richard Scarry. This work includes The dog and his bone and The fox and the crow.
