The Tale of Two Bad Mice
THE TALE OF
In a beautifully detailed doll’s house, everything looks perfect: the dinner is laid, the tiny kitchen is stocked, and the dolls are ready for an orderly day. But when the nursery falls quiet, Tom Thumb and Hunca Munca slip out from beneath the skirting-board and discover the tempting little house for themselves.
Their curiosity quickly turns to confusion when the splendid feast proves stubbornly inedible and the pantry contains nothing but beads. Soon the frustrated mice are testing the furniture, exploring every room, and carrying away anything they think might improve their own cramped home. Full of playful mischief, comic surprises, and charming household detail, this gentle story invites listeners into a miniature world where appearances can be deceiving—and even the naughtiest visitors may have their reasons.
