Submitted by Ms. Tess!Capitalizing on my admiration for children’s literary stalwart Kevin Henkes (last name pronounced HENK-us), and all things with wings, is Birds, written by Henkes, and illustrated by his lovely wife Laura Dronzek. This reads almost like a nonfiction book for very early readers. It’s informative, without being boring, educating us on the different colors and sizes birds can be, and the different things they can do, like fly, and sit in trees. It also shares charming anecdotes like: “Once I saw seven birds on the telephone wire. They didn’t move and they didn’t move and they didn’t move. I looked away for a second… and they were gone.” Birds are awesome creatures. If your child is as fascinated by our feathered friends as I am, you’ll definitely want to check out Birds. Today!
