Calvin, Look Out!: A Bookworm Birdie Gets Glasses

32 pp. | Sterling | August, 2014 | Trade ISBN 978-1-4549-0910-1 $14.95
(4) K-3 Illustrated by Keith Bendis. Though his cousins tease him about his glasses, book-loving starling Calvin (Calvin Can't Fly) reminds himself of great historical figures who also wore them, such as Ben Franklin, Gandhi, and John Lennon. When faced with a precarious situation, Calvin uses his new spectacles in an unexpected way. Overt confidence-bolstering messages abound in the playfully written story with amiable illustrations featuring square, spindly-legged birds.
