Calvin the starling is too busy reading to learn to fly, so his relatives figure out a way to carry him along when they migrate. Because he has read so much, Calvin recognizes a hurricane approaching and (predictably) manages to save the whole flock. The book delivers its worthy, if obvious, message with playful language and jaunty gouache illustrations.
