This is about a mouse who went looking for ripe berries and got taken by a bird. He eventually got away and landed in a nest filled with baby birds. They became friends and the mom would bring him ripe berries to eat. One day, he woke up and the birds had flown away. When he told his mouse friends the story, they were angry and wanted war on the birds. But once he explained the whole story, they were all happy and all became friends.

This is a book about field mice who are looking for berries and the young mouse ends up going by himself to find some and learning that not all birds are enemies. At the end he is reunited with the other field mice and tells them about his adventure! ( )

This book is about a field mouse named Nicolas who was unable to find ripe red berries to eat. All the birds had taken the berries and so the field mice became angry. While they were searching for berries a bird swooped down and picked up Nicolas. He was able to wiggle himself free and ended up in a nest in a tree with other birds. Nicolas made friends with the birds and had to explain to his friends that some birds are nice. This is a book that should be used for third or fourth grade. If I used this book I would skip a page because the graphic is too harsh for children. ( )

Book description

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0375844503, Hardcover)

When the young mouse Nicolas sets out across the great meadow alone in search of ripe red berries, he is grabbed up by the claws of a huge bird and carried high into the sky. But that is only the beginning of Nicolas's adventure. How he gets the berries he was hoping to find, and learns to trust the very creatures he thought were his enemies, makes this Leo Lionni fable one that young children will want to hear again and again.

Originally published in 1987, and unavailable in any edition for a decade, this book's theme of not judging an entire species by the bad behavior of one has a special resonance with today's reader.
