(4) PS In steady rhythm and meter, Spink highlights and contrasts general characteristics of birds: "Some birds are big, / some birds are small / and some birds are just incredibly tall." A lack of narrative flow and the didactic message that birds should not be caged hinder the text, but it is secondary; the book is primarily a graphically dynamic showcase for the Zentangle-style birds in eye-catching jewel tones.
