(2) K-3 In this fortieth anniversary edition of Burningham's first book, Borka the goose is born with no feathers and is left behind when the other geese fly south. She eventually makes her way to Kew Gardens, where there are already so many exotic birds that no one minds how she looks at all. Burningham's bold, deceptively simple illustrations won him the Kate Greenaway Medal.
