(3) K-3 A bird ready to try her wings can't decide between her comfortable cage or freedom. Children will enjoy the repetitive rhythmic pattern, the concluding invitation ("I wonder what YOU would do?"), and the sophisticated art, in which the cage's gilded bars shine against dappled lavender while the world outside features geometrically arrayed houses in shades of gray and trees of brilliant green.
