BUYING ADVISORY: Pre-K, EL (K-3) - ADVISABLE
APPEALS TO: SEVERAL
The colorful birds around the forest pool drive Oddbird out because he has no color. When he shows them how cool and fresh the water is, however, they might change their song.
I love that Desierto doesn't try to make a point about Oddbird with back matter or anything - kind of refreshing, like that pool. But the lesson is there - kids might pick up on it and they might not - let them decide.
