Chicory and Roux: The Creole Mouse and the Cajun Mouse

St Pierre, Todd-Michael

Chicory the city mouse would never dream of leaving her home in New Orleans--until she falls asleep in a picnic basket and wakes up in the country swamps. There she meets Roux, a country mouse, and together they experience the simple Cajun life before returning to the big city for a taste of Creole culture. Will these new friends trade in their old lives, or will they just have to agree to disagree? In this Southern retelling of Aesop's classic fable, Chicory and Roux celebrate the different flavors of their cultures and learn that, sometimes, where you are is exactly where you're supposed to be Whimsical illustrations and two original songs make this a story you won't forget--after all, two mice are twice as nice
