I'll Meet You at the Cucumbers — Lilian Moore

A LITTLE MOUSE WITH BIG IDEAS
Adam Mouse loves the country more than anything. No one could ever make him leave the beautiful blossoms and ripe vegetable gardens of the country. No one except Amanda. Amanda is Adam's city pen pal. So, when Amanda invites him to the city for her birthday, Adam decides to go. She picks a spot at the farmer's market. “I'll meet you at the cucumbers,” she writes.

With Junius Mouse as his guide, Adam sneaks aboard a farmer's truck bound for the city and so begins the biggest adventure of his life. It is a journey filled with excitement, wonder, and danger. But the biggest surprise of all waits for Adam in the city library, when Amanda shows him that the thoughts he has been writing to her are actually poems. Adam is a poet -- and he didn't even know it!
