Birds by Kevin Henkes
5.0
My son picked out this one at the library for reading, and it picked my curiosity when I saw it was by Kevin Henkes. The pictures in Birds are not in the same style as his other books however, in fact this book is illustrated by wife Laure Dronzek, in rich color, thick line.
While we both liked the pictures, I myself found the simple text quite interesting and full of surprises. My son actually ended up reading most of the text by himself, drawn in by the simplicity in the words and by the child like speculations taking place on the pages. And, maybe it's not so much a book about birds as it is musings spun from thoughts on birds.
This is a lovely, lovely, lovely book, which can be enjoyed on more than one level.
