Field Mouse fears that since he can neither croak, jump, nor swim like Frog, they cannot be friends. After he warns Frog of an approaching falcon, however, he realizes that he, too, has talents, and their friendship blossoms. Full-page acrylic illustrations of Field Mouse's pond and forest home combine with painterly close-ups of the friends framed in woodland patterns to make this an attractively designed story.
