(4) PS A mouse, deciding to face its fear of the forest, hikes there one day. After fighting panic all the way, the mouse discovers an "enormous beauty" in the woods and sky and goes home changed. The language of this first-person account is elegant and pellucid, though the voice is far older than its preschool audience. Nivola's meticulous stippled paintings convey both menace and beauty in a fresh, understated way.
