Shoe Town (Green Light Readers: All Levels)

Little mama mouse dreams of a hot bath and a long nap. Her babies have grown up and moved away from their snug shoe-home. Mama imagines settling into a quiet life, until Tortoise, Hare, and other storybook strangers turn up in search of a home. Soon Mama has a busy life--and lots of new friends--in glorious Shoe Town. Janet Stevens and Susan Stevens Crummelâs toe-tapping rhymed text in tandem with Janet Stevensâs soleful illustrations gives the notion of one mamaâs âempty nestâ a hilarious kick.
