THREE PROS
*No doubt about it, Flora McDonnell's artwork is excellent
*What kid is gonna argue with a bevy of beasts from the Serengeti (okay so tigers don't really live there, but you get the point)
*Everyone seems to be frolicking, and who doesn't like a good frolic
*Everyone seems to be frolicking, and who doesn't like a good frolic
THREE CONS
*The writing splashes all over you like a pile of elephant dung
*I hate when authors repeat sentences for no reason, and I hate it even more when they do it three times
*I hate when authors repeat sentences for no reason, and I hate it even more when they do it three times
*Either the blue bird is a messiah or it was incorrectly drawn in such a way that it can literally walk on water
ONE DAD'S OPINION
This book isn't all wet, but it's pretty close. There just isn't a compelling reason to read it, let alone recommend it. Honestly, the illustrations are the only thing saving it from a failing grade. In the sink-or-swim world of kidlit, this tiny animal doesn't have the traits necessary to survive.
