A Nest for Celeste

By Henry Cole

After being kicked out of her home then chased by the plantation cat, mouse Celeste runs across the path of John Audubon's assistant Joseph Mason. When Mason rescues Celeste, the two form a friendship, and Celeste discovers a world she never realized was right beyond her mouse hole. Henry Cole's combination of easy-to-read text and detailed illustrations works well to tell the story.
