K-Gr 2–In this sweet picture book, Fish and Bird compare and contrast their own lived experiences. In these comparisons, readers are exposed to excellent word choice such as pecked and joyfully. Teachers and parents alike will appreciate developing children’s oral language and vocabulary through this book. Additionally, children can see what life is like both on land and in water. Gauthier uses collage to bring the characters to life, providing a unique and exciting aesthetic for young readers.
VERDICT This simple story, told through lively word choice and imagery with illustrations in an inventive medium, will make a fun and valuable addition to any classroom or library serving emerging readers.
