BlueBird by Bob Staake
Bluebird, for ages 3-7, is told entirely with pictures, so children have to “interpret” what is happening. When a little blue bird and a little boy become friends they have fun around town but when they encounter three bullies at the end of the day and little blue bird is caught in the crossfire. A poignant tale of friendship and letting go. The illustrations are simple and mostly done in black and white with a blue background and of course the little blue bird. The only burst of color is the other “angel birdies” that come down from the heavens.

This looks interesting. I think the youngest might like it, he enjoys lots of pictures and telling us his version of whats going on 🙂 Thanks for the review.
I do not think I would like this. I think there are better ways for kids to develop imagination.
I think words are important for the very young.
I think that my daughter would really enjoy making up her own story to ‘read’ to me.
