- Abstract
- en_US I first saw a wall-full of this series at Kyobo Book in Seoul in July, '04. I bought one copy, came home, and worked to order the full set of thirty booklets, workbooks, and audio cassettes from the publisher. Each set cost 9,800 Won. I have divided that cost among the book (6800 Won), booklet (1000 Won), and cassette (2000 Won). The colored booklet features twenty-eight thick, sturdy pages and excellent color reproduction. The art is cartoon-like, simple, and direct. This version of the story has the city mouse getting off of a bus to visit his country friend. The contrasts begin when the city mouse finds the country mouse's house small and old, while the other finds it quiet and cozy. The contrast continues between dry bread and corn on the one hand and cakes and cookies on the other. At the first country meal they decide to go off to the city, again on a bus. Old Yellow comes in because he smells mice, but is soon called away to a bath. Then Fluffy the cat appears and also smells mice. The mice just make it to the mouse hole. That is enough for the country mouse, who wants to go home. Mental comfort is more important than physical comfort.
