Product Description
New York Times selection for Best Illustrated Children's Books of 2017
In this lovely book, young readers are introduced to a variety of beautiful birds, from the familiar chicken to the exotic ibis. But lurking in the background of every page is a cat, who also seems very interested in the birds.
With its funny illustrations and engaging concepts, this clever counting book will invite readers to linger over every page.
From School Library Journal
K-Gr 2—Plume is a cat with a penchant for soft feather pillows. Though readers don't know this until the very end of the book, they get a glimpse of the feline on every page—some little part lurking around or near a bird. But the menace of a predator and its prey is not what will capture children's attention in this title: it's the feathers. At once sturdy and delicate, they look completely different on birds than they do on their own. Simler shows both—a large, labeled illustration of a bird, common and uncommon, and on the facing page, exquisitely detailed drawings of one or more of its feathers. And Plume. First, he is just a shadow that readers might easily miss. Then there's the tail, the whiskers, the tips of his ears appearing on the page, creating tension and a little confusion—what should viewers be looking at? There's relief at the end, when Plume introduces himself and admits to his passion—feathers make a soft spot to dream. Simler's delightful digital drawings begin on the endpapers, making the book as much a beginner's guide to feathers as a story. VERDICT Savor the stunning close-up drawings in this picture book one-on-one. For a nonfiction pairing, match with Melissa Stewart's Feathers, Not Just For Flying.—Lisa Lehmuller, Paul Cuffee Maritime Charter School, Providence
