| | | Ordinarily, dogs and birds are not the best of friends. However, as Keller's masterful picture book illustrates, sometimes the most lasting friendships are to be found in the most unusual circumstances. Full color.
Annotation:
A little pigeon's fear of his first flight and his accidental friendship with a fluffy brown dog is the focus of this tender picture book. Caruso is scared to fly for many reasons: the sky is overwhelming; what if he flies straight into a cloud; what if he gets too tired and falls? Mama and Papa reassure him, and encourage him to take his time. One particularly breezy night on their rooftop home, Caruso is carried off by the wind! He lands on the yellow windowsill of a dog named Sophie. She seems really nice, but will she be able to help him get back home? Accompanied by softly detailed watercolors. By the author of the popular FARFILLINA & MARCEL.

"Simple and understated in both visuals and narrative, yet the blended message of trying one's wings and being disparate friends regardless of size and genus will ring with young listeners." 07/01/2005 |
