Review

Leo is the mail carrier in his little town and the one thing that he wants more than anything is to receive a letter himself. He rescues a bird whose flock has already gone south for the winter and the two form a family. Until it's time for Cheep to rejoin his flock and Leo goes back to his life as it was before. But because of his newfound friendship, he does get what he's always wanted, a letter. This is sweet story of friendship and simple gestures. The illustrations are lovely and fit the sweetness of the story. A great read-aloud. Highly recommend.

Overall Book Score: excellent
