(3) K-3 DePaola's ecological fable from the crunchy-granola seventies retains relevance today. Michael Bird-Boy (in a feather-suit) sees his farm threatened by an ominous cloud spewed by a city honey factory. He and the factory's owner find a happy solution. Horizontal panels do a fine job of shuttling between the rural and urban landscapes. Includes a diagram of how honey is made.
