"Both words and pictures in BIRDS trust the intelligence and imagination of young children, and that's what makes this a perfect book. One doesn't know whom to praise more for the perfection of a finished work--the artist, the writer, the editor or the art director. In this case, ...all can share the credit."

"The strong figures and luminous colors give the birds a strong graphic impact, while the soft touches and the neatly original compositions add narrative interest to the visuals."
