Several birds star in three minimal comic tales, all about being the tallest or the highest; the text, via dialogue bubbles, couldn't be simpler. Flat, creamy colors on thick pages (some feature flaps) introduce a flock that's ditzy-looking but endearing: competitive as they are ("I am tall" / "You are not tall!"), the birds' friendship prevails ("We'll help you up!").
