Review

Little bird lives in the city. He likes to greet the day with a song and end the day with a song. What he doesn't like is thunder and rain. the only good thing about rain is the puddles it makes and the puddles make a bathing spot for little bird. Our little bird takes the reader over rooftops seeking the perfect puddle for a bath. Once found, his bath is continually interrupted and his puddle smaller and smaller. Russo's story of a bird, a rainstorm and a bath will capture the interest of the youngest reader and her illustrations are big, soft and inviting. This book is a keeper!

Overall Book Score: excellent
