In this episode of Once Upon a Storytime Podcast, we visit two very different worlds in The Tale of Johnny Town-Mouse. When Timmy Willie, a country mouse, accidentally finds himself in the bustling home of Johnny Town-Mouse, he experiences the noisy, crowded life of the city—and quickly longs for the quiet peace of the countryside.
Later, when Johnny visits Timmy's simple garden home, he finds country life just as strange and uncomfortable! Through their adventures, both mice learn that there's no place quite like home, and that everyone has their own idea of comfort and happiness.
This classic Beatrix Potter story offers a gentle lesson about appreciating differences, contentment, and the joys of finding where you truly belong. It's a cozy tale perfect for listeners who love both city streets and country gardens!
