Publisher Description
It's autumn in the Big City! Little Elliot and Mouse love the hustle and bustle of the city streets. But sometimes it feels like there are too many people, too many noises—just too much! The best friends decide to get out of town for a vacation in the countryside. There, they'll discover the sights and smells of autumn in the country. Everything is more fun when shared with a friend!
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
In this charming fourth outing for Curato's polka-dotted elephant Little Elliot and his friend Mouse, the companions take a needed break from the noise and chaos of their 1940s-esque Manhattan, hopping a bus for the countryside. After arriving at an idyllic farm, the two eat apples, soak up the autumn colors, and play hide-and-seek. Elliot's hiding place in the cornfield is a little too effective, but Mouse's ingenuity and pie-making skills reunite the friends and result in a "fall feast" with some new barnyard pals. Curato's lush illustrations revel in the calm of rural expanses ("The country is even bigger than the city!" Elliot exclaims), creating a sense of palpable relief as the friends relax. Never underestimate the power of a getaway to rejuvenate one's spirits and friendships. Ages 4 8.
