Review

Little brown bird breaks out an unexpected silly song "Froodle sproodle" and all the birds and other animals in the neighborhood try saying something new. All except Crow who needs a little coaxing. Entertaining while making the points of being different, trying new things or thinking outside the box. The pencil, charcoal and ink illustrations were digitally colored and present as retro with a nod to multidimensional. Useful for building literacy, discussion social interactions and dialogue boxes, some text gets lost in the green background on a number of pages.

Overall Book Score: excellent
