Review

A "Spring catalogue and instruction manual" that explains with the extinction of most birds, you can craft and create your own wondrous bird. Beautiful artwork, unique concept, dark humor. David Weisner feel to the book. Not entirely sure of the readership, though a five-year-old poured over the illustrations (got little of the text). The notes about extinction should alert readers to the danger of extinction faced by many animals. It might be useful to schools with an art program, or in conjunction with Look Up! from the MSBA 2014 reading list.

Overall Book Score: excellent
