Nicolas, Where Have You Been?

(2) K-3 Mouse Nicolas hates birds because they take all the best berries. An accident lands Nicolas in a birds' nest, where he's treated with great kindness, and he learns that "one bad bird doesn't make a flock." Lionni's splendid collages show thoughtful mice and lovely foliage. The story is a cheerful example of an ethical idea cast as a picture book.
