Pre-K- OPTIONAL
AUDIENCE APPEAL:
AVERAGE
Two giraffes and an ostrich become friends and speak to one
another in alternating English and Spanish. The giraffes ask the ostrich a lot
of questions about her feelings, but the feeling that she has the most is
excitement about finding new friends.
I really liked the alternating language aspect in this book.
I think it will appeal to a lot of younger readers who are interested in sounds
and language and brings and inclusive aspect to the book for English Language
Learners. The plot was a little lacking, with a delayed climax, but little ones
will enjoy the pictures and identifying with the emotions.
