Reissue (1997, FableVision)
(4) K-3 A boy on a journey gets lost when he takes a "well-worn path" instead of seeking his own way. After a bird reminds him to "follow the signs you already know," he discovers his guiding star and continues his voyage. While the simple ink and watercolor illustrations have appeal for young children, the didactic (if worthy) allegorical message won't resonate with them.
