A Home for Bird

32 pp. | Roaring Brook/Porter | June, 2012 | Trade ISBN 978-1-59643-711-1 $16.99
(1) K-3 On the copyright page, we see a little wooden bird thrown from the back of a moving truck. This bird soon meets a toad named Vernon, who seems to know that Bird is lost--and helps him find his way home as the story comes full circle. Stead's loose-edged illustrations are delightfully casual, with an emotional quality that draws the reader to identify with these two friends.
