One day, Mole and Fieldmouse are admiring the view from atop the hill. But mole has a better idea: why not climb up the pine tree to see even further?
Fieldmouse is scared of heights and refuses to join his daring friend in scaling the tree. But Fieldmouse is also worried that Mole might fall, so he guides him up from down on the ground. Mole manages to reach the top and breathe in the sea air, and even come back down safely... with an old bird’s nest on his head! But then, cautious Field Mouse trips over a root and breaks his leg! As always, the forest friends come together to help. At every turn, the writing and pictures work together in humorous concert.
