(3) K-3 Illustrated by Dave Mottram. Ebullient and verbose, Wordy Birdy always talks a lot: "Hello, sunrise. Hello, pink sky. / Hello, orange sky. Hello, yellow sky." But she is a terrible listener, even when her forest friends plead with her to avoid a menacing bear with spiky teeth. The expressive characters' word-balloon dialogue and the colorful cartoonlike illustrations help convey the engaging story's theme of friends sticking together.
Reviewer: Sheila M. Geraty
