review 1: A bird-loving second grade teacher in my school will love this! And I can imagine her using it as an anchor text to have students choose a bird (or animal) to study and write a book about!Each page carries a different portrayal of the bird's explorations, some are two page spreads, others have small close ups of the bird's face.Rhyming text builds the pace of the hurry-scurry of the bird as he darts and races to and fro, just a killdeer would.

The watercolors, pencil, and ink carry shades of greens and dark purples with bright yellow flowers and butterflies. less
