Abstract
Here is one of the four books in the series on the TMCM. More than Adventure on the Water and Up, Up and Away, this story develops clearly from the originating fable. Flora and Fred's visit shows how out of step they are with city life. When they arrive, Annabel gasps You're so early! At an auction, Flora is offered a painting of a naked mouse on a seashell, signed of course by Mendoza. At a fancy milliner's shop, she picks out a hat under a pile-that turns out to be the one she brought! At a fancy party in her honor at Annabel's, she enters wearing an apron over her new evening gown. At the end, both Annabel and Flora say to others that they are sure that the other would prefer to be in the opposite location. Watch for the little mice in the delightful illustrations; for example in the book's best illustration (12), a little fellow is just taking a hammer to an old pot at the auctioneer's!
