Feldman Fieldmouse

I read Feldman Fieldmouse, A Fable by Nathaniel Benchley.  The setting is in the meadow where a pond is and Lonny Stebbins‘ house, and it possibly takes place around the 1970s.  The main character is Feldman Fieldmouse  who is not lazy, likes to see the moon and rabbits moon dancing , a grown-up mouse and uncle to Fendall.  Fendall he’s lazy, likes food, he’s always thinking about food which distracts him from listening.  Lonny Stebbins he’s a boy who wants to save the mice, he talks with Fendall and Feldman and is friendly to them.  Feldman came out of the cellar into the onion bin in the kitchen and would only come out at night for food.  He was very careful because all of his family except Fendall and himself were poisoned.  Feldman teaches Fendall to not be lazy and to not be afraid of owls.  They have a moon dance with the rabbits at the end and Fendall has to use what he has learned.  I really like the book because I like to hear about Feldman and Fendall’s life.
