A Nest For Celeste

I had heard some buzz about this one, so I was excited to read it.  I have to say I was not a fan.  A mouse gets expelled from her nest, makes a human friend, gets lost and finds her way back home again.  I was was left wanting more.  The human friend named Joseph is the apprentice to Audubon, the wildlife illustrator, so that was interesting to see how he may have conducted his research.  I felt like the author/illustrator, Henry Cole, wanted to draw the illustrations, and so he wrapped a boring and uninspired story around those instead of the other way around.  (FIC COL)
