Ages 3 and up A man releases birds back into the wild, but one little bird refused to go. The man shows the little bird what to do and finally the bird decides to leave. After the bird leaves it catches up with the rest of the birds and decides to take all of the birds back and take the man on a flight with them. This would be a fun story for a bird themed story time. A lot of the book is wordless so the children could make up what is going on in the story. "A man drives his truck up to a cliff's edge. Unable to go any further, he opens the back door of his truck and a flock of birds flies out, but, as the man soon discovers, a small timid bird remains. Surprised and delighted, the man acts kindly towards the bird and an intimacy develops. After lunch, the man tries to show the bird that he should fly off and join his friends. The man's comic attempt at flight deepens the encounter between these two very different creatures. Soon the bird flies off and the man drives away, but in a surprise twist the bird and his friends return, and in a starkly lyrical moment we see them all experience something entirely new"--
What do You think about Les Oiseaux (2010)?
"Because little things are not made to be noticed. They are there to be discovered."
