“In this very simple yet comforting story, a little bunny wants to befriend a shy bird with whom he shares a tree (bunny in the bottom hole, bird on a limb). When a rainstorm ruins the bird’s nest, Bird comes to stay with Bunny, and Bunny and his friends help Bird rebuild his home. Although this looks like a conventional picture book, the flap copy says Tafuri also intended it to be a book children can read to themselves. The text is simple enough to be a reader, and the large type will make reading easy. Like Tafuri’s other books, this features good-size drawings that are easy on the eyes. There’s a certain sweetness to the art that makes it livelier than the palette suggests. ”

“ Tafuri never belabors the emotional content.”
