Illus. in full color. "Lionni's inquisitive, clever mice prove once more the value of the fable as a storytelling device, especially when it is simply told and beautifully illustrated. Confined to a meadow behind a high wall, Tillie longs to discover the unknown world beyond the wall. It takes all of Tillie's determination to find a way to the other side. A superior picture book, this should be a perennial favorite for primary grade story hours."--(starred) School Library Journal.
