BUYING ADVISORY: EL (K-3) - ESSENTIAL
AUDIENCE APPEAL: HIGH
A young nightingale is unable to fly south for the winter because of a broken wing. Concerned for itself, as nightingales are spring birds, the wise owl promises that the winter animals will help teach her.
Kate Banks' descriptions of fall turning to winter, the preparations for a blizzard and the rest of the beautiful text perfectly accompany Suzie Mason's magnificent illustrations - absolutely breathtaking! I was moved by the plight of the poor little bird, and look forward to sharing this with my granddaughter. A marvelous read aloud - especially for a snowy day. I anticipate a great conversation about being resourceful and taking care of each other.
