Title: Cheerful unconventionality
Review: This is a cheerful book about eccentricity--a bird that prefers walking to flying--friendship (of the inter-species kind) and trust. Kaczman's drawings are droll but sweet. Young readers will be captured by the seeming innocence of the artwork; older readers will take pleasure in Kaczman's clever craftsmanship. (My favorite is a picture of the bird flattening himself out to fit on the page as he hitches a ride on the back of a snake.) In the end, unconventionality wins. Not a bad message in a charmingly unconventional picture book.
