The Love-Me Bird

(4) K-3 Illustrated by Sophie Fatus. The title character, looking like a valentine cut-out with her pink body and heart-shaped wings and tail, can't find a mate until, following the advice of her owl neighbor, she changes her bird call from the desperate "Love me!" to the unselfish "Love you!" Colorful childlike paintings help make what amounts to a blueprint for finding romance accessible to child readers.
