There are many endangered animals in the world, but none quite like Pocketmouse. He's absolutely determined to find out why he's the only pocket mouse living at Crystal Cove. He snoops and explores. He makes mistakes. And he gets into plenty of trouble when he encounters the dreaded and frightful, fang-toothed feral cat, and then later, narrowly escapes drowning in a rising tide pool. Fortunately, his perseverance is rewarded when he reconnects with a longtime friend, who reveals the secret of his past--and shares her admiration for the little mouse. An inspirational story that introduces children to changing habitats and endangered species.

Yosemite bears are brave mountaineers--all except Berto, who's terrified of heights! He's also afraid of a bully named Buck, who torments him and makes fun of his rock collection. Berto's problems only get worse until finally he learns that, just like the rocks, he has strength of his own.
