Originally published in 1973, this is the offbeat fable of a city mouse who visits his peaceful country cousins and tells them about Mardi Gras in the city. The country mice are inspired to have their own Mardi Gras. And at first, it is fun wearing their masks with sharp teeth and tusks and scaring each other, but after a while, they begin believing that they really are ferocious animals.
Leo Lionni’s winsome mice cavort across big double-page spreads of oil paintings and tell a story about what is real and what is not that is just right for preschoolers.
Paperback, 32 pages. Recommended ages 3-7 years.
From the exhibition Between Worlds: The Art and Design of Leo Lionni on view November 18, 2023 to May 27, 2024 at Norman Rockwell Museum.
