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.

Perfect for the small dreamers and naturalists in your life, 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, and how they are most like her. 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 in this husband-and-wife collaboration.

Booklist said, “Together, the words and pictures create a book that will enchant preschool audiences again and again.” Birds “will resonate with the youngest children,” said School Library Journal.

Title: Impressed – educational, creative, and inquisitive all at the same time
Review: WOW! What a great book! It is educational, creative, and inquisitive all at the same time. It covers colors, sizes, imagination, artistic expression, literary/poetic language, and asks science questions like “Where do birds go when it rains?” This would be a GREAT book to start a unit on birds with toddlers age (2-3 is my guess). Students could cut out bird images and sort them by color, determine the distinguishing features of birds (versus other animals), explore tactile baskets filled bird themed items (feathers, nest, eggs, seeds, 3D birds, etc.), match bird photos to their names, listen to each of those bird’s calls, go bird watching with a checklist, count the birds and graph them, make a bird diorama with all the things that species needs to live, do all sorts of creative writing/art/crafts, and even answer that question in the book about what birds do when it rains 😉 Heck you could even spin off from this book to do a similar units on mammals, reptiles, fish, insects, amphibians, etc.My only issue with the book, it that it is difficult to see the difference in size between the flamingo and the rest of the birds, because the flamingo is off the page, but I do not think that is enough to lower my 5/5 star rating.

Title: My 13 month old’s new favorite
Review: Baby has been obsessed with birds lately, so I bought this book, and, to my delight, he loves it. The writing doesn’t talk down to kids and encourages them to imagine. The art is simple and sweet and engaging for babies. I prefer a different art style but I’m still giving this 5 stars because my son loves it and hey, it’s about him when it comes to kids’ books!

Title: My 1.5 year old LOVES this book!
Review: Our original copy of this book we bought in the gift shop of a museum. When we decided to donate a copy to my daughter’s daycare class- I opted for Amazon so I didn’t have to deal with the hassle of going back to the museum just for the book. Shipping was prompt and book was in great condition.

Title: A nice book
Review: I liked the art. It’s a pretty good book. Just some general info about birds. Not their names though, which might have been fun – kids like to recognize things. At the end it brings the POV back to the little girl who wants to fly, but can’t, so she sings (like a bird) instead.

Title: My son loves this book
Review: This is one of my 16-month-old son’s top three favorite books. He loves birds, so that could be one reason why he likes it so much. But it could also be that he likes birds because of this book since we have been reading it to him for several months now. He really likes the pictures and hearing the story (that we embellish with tweets and hoots, of course). He is very active and only sits still for a few books, and this is one of them. I really enjoy reading this book to him, it is very cute and creative, with great pictures. I definitely recommend this book to anyone.

Title: Imaginative and Engaging
Review: This is one of my baby’s favorite books. The text and illustrations let the imagination wander, my baby particularly likes the page where there is a big “Surprise!” with birds flying out of a tree all at once, and laughs when we read it. Great book that gets requested both at bedtime and when he wakes up in the morning.
