review 1: I love whimsical, silly books. So LITTLE BIRD is perfect for me. It's the story of a man and some birds and it touches base with reality only at the beginning, which is fine with me and most small fry.The artwork is great for little children. It's bold and colorful, with big slabs of blue sky, yellow ground, and red truck. As for text, there isn't much. And in fact you could use this book as if it was WORDLESS.**We talk about the story**The story is deceptively simple. A man drives to a cliff at the end of a road and parks his big red panel truck. He opens the doors and a pretty large flock of beautiful, exotic birds fly away. The man is about to shut the doors when he notices that someone's still inside. It's a little black bird . The man tries to get him join th... moree others but the bird isn't interested, so they share a sandwich and some time together. And that's where the true magic begins. Because as wise children and mommies know, "There are no greater treasures than the little things" **We stop talking about specifics**This is a beautiful little book that addresses the very important point that there can be great value in little things. And that wonder and magic can enter your life in unexpected ways.We really liked this book at my house.Pam T~
review 2: I love picture books with minimal text, (although they don't circulate very well). They are perfect for storytime and one-on-one reading because they open up kids' imaginations in fantastic ways. The artwork in this book is breathtaking and the message is strong and simple, but I'm not sure that it would translate for little ones. This may be one of those picture books that is much more treasured by us grown-ups. less
