"""With a brief text and clearly delineated, vibrant artwork that shows up well from a distance, this book is a natural for reading aloud during preschool or primary-grade bird units."" —Booklist ""The clever comparisons suggest a new way to see and remember these species. . . .smoothly written couplets. . . A posh performance to read aloud or alone."" —Kirkus Reviews ★ ""Stunning. . . Although cataloged in the natural sciences, Stockdale's mellifluous prose deserves to be classified as literature and her vibrant acrylic illustrations are art. . . . Wonderful for reading aloud and sharing; recommended for every ­library to introduce art, poetry, and glorious birds to young readers and lucky listeners."" —School Library Journal, Starred Review"
