Age/Grade level: Preschool-Kindergarten
An enchanting picture book about birds that introduces concepts such as color, shape, size and the number seven, as well as very basic facts about birds. It is highly imaginative, with the child narrator wondering what the sky would look like if clouds were birds or birds left colors in the sky with their tail feathers. She also wonders what it would be like to be a bird and even though she can't fly, the final page tells you what she can do. Illustrations are acrylic paintings that are perfect for preschoolers with their bright colors and black outlines. Highly recommended.
