+# City Mouse-Country Mouse — Source Background
+
+## Source status
+
+- User supplied the title page and all **11 story beats** across six photographed story pages/spreads; several photos contain two facing pages.
+- The source sequence is now fully established, including the City Mouse's trip to visit the Country Mouse, the Country Mouse's welcome, the simple meal, the city visit, the dogs, and the peaceful ending.
+- This note is a private production reference for an original, child-friendly device adaptation. It is not a reproduction of the physical book.
+
+## What the visible pages establish
+
+### Main characters
+
+- **City Mouse:** Comfortable in the city, fond of fancy food and city life; wears a blue coat in the source illustrations.
+- **Country Mouse:** A visiting cousin from the country, modest and peace-seeking; wears a purple dress in the source illustrations.
+
+### Settings
+
+- **Country home:** A warm hollow inside a large tree in a birch forest. The Country Mouse has a simple domestic space.
+- **City home:** An indoor house with a dining room, table, chairs, curtains, and plenty of leftovers from a fine dinner.
+
+### Story arc confirmed by the supplied pages
+
+1. City Mouse travels to visit Country Mouse.
+2. Country Mouse happily welcomes the cousin and shares a simple meal.
+3. City Mouse rejects the country meal and invites Country Mouse to the city.
+4. They travel to the city, arrive late at night, and find a feast of leftovers.
+5. They begin to eat, hear growling, and then two large dogs burst in; both mice flee.
+6. Country Mouse chooses to return home, deciding that a peaceful simple meal is better than fine food that cannot be enjoyed safely.
+
+## Adaptation guardrails
+
+- Use the source photos only as visual and plot reference; generate new, original illustrations rather than use phone-photo crops.
+- Preserve visual continuity from the source: small brown mice, City Mouse in blue, Country Mouse in purple, warm watercolor/ink storybook feeling.
+- Device art target: 320×240 landscape, no printed text inside artwork.
+- Narration should be warm, clear, and age-appropriate for Grace; retain the central lesson without copying the source wording.
+
+## Missing source material before production
+
+- Pages 1–7 / the beginning of the visit
+- Any cover, author, or publisher information if the final package should credit the source
+- Confirmation whether the book should be English only or also have a Spanish version
