(4) K-3 Translated by Anthea Bell. "Pint-Sized Pete" befriends an even smaller bird, a yellow chick named Steve, who tries teaching Pete to fly. Steve's flock sadly moves on, and though he can't fly, it cheers Pete up when his mother lets him try swimming on his own. Illustrations use simple, feathery-edged shapes to convey emotion more effectively than the rather drab text.
