Town Mouse, Country Mouse written by Jan Brett is a super cute MF book. It is about a couple of mice who trade lives. One goes to the Town and the other in the Country. They think the grass is greener on the other side, but as they go through many obstacles adapting to their new home life, they soon realize they liked their old home better and the grass wasn't so greener. One activity I found is that the students can role play the story.
