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.
