In what the New York Times Book Review calls a perfect book, a little girl watches birds from her window and dreams she can fly. This acclaimed, concept rich picture book by celebrated team of Kevin Henkes and Laura Dronzek is just right for the very youngest reader.
Perfect for small dreamers and naturalists, this critically acclaimed picture book is from the award-winning husband-and-wife team of Kevin Henkes and Laura Dronzek.
With a fine eye for detail, a girl observes and describes birds--their sizes, their colors, their shapes, the way they move and appear and disappear. She imagines what it would be like if clouds looked like birds, or if she could ask the birds questions. Though she can't fly, the girl can do one thing birds do--she can sing. Vibrant and lively paintings accompany a text pitched precisely to preschoolers.
Birds has received glowing reviews:
- Together, the words and pictures create a book that will enchant preschool audiences again and again. --Booklist (starred review)
- The child voice in this charming story is just right and will resonate with the very youngest children. --School Library Journal (starred review)
- Words and pictures perform a perfectly choreographed dance here. --Horn Book (starred review)
