"Down a River" by Carole Telford and Rod Theodorou Book Review

 

"Down a River" by Carole Telford and Rod Theodorou is a look at the Mississippi and Missouri rivers. It details the life and landscape along the way from the head of the rivers to their termination. 

This is a wonderful fact filled book that will get children interested in the great out doors, biology, and the environment. This book sports both illustration and photographs of the flora and fauna of the rivers, and it is voiced as if the reader is taking a trip down river. 

The book does what it can with thirty two pages and can only be improved by being longer and more detailed. 

Who should read this book? Everyone.

A Funny Little Bird by Jennifer Yerkes Book Review

'A Funny Little Bird' by Jennifer Yerkes is a children's book about

accepting who you are and making your weakness into a strength. In the story the bird first rejects its appearance and them embraces what makes him different from all the other birds. 

In addition this book uses a unique art style were the main character is part of the negative space of the book. This makes the book fun and interesting. This book stands out among the many that I have read. 

Who should read this book? Everyone.
