(2) K-3 In this Caldecott Honor book, mouse Alexander befriends Willy, a wind-up toy mouse. Alexander determines to ask the magic lizard to change him into a wind-up mouse, but when Willy is consigned to the dust heap, Alexander changes his wish to help Willy. As always, Lionni's simple collages are the perfect accompaniment to his gentle story about the magic of friendship.
