PreS-K–While Calvin's siblings learn things birds need to know, the young starling has his beak buried in books. He reads adventure stories, legends, and poetry while his brothers and sisters chase bugs and learn to fly. Calvin is happiest in the library. “His books took him to places wings never could. And his heart fluttered with excitement.” When autumn arrives, all the starlings prepare to go south–except Calvin. The flock takes off without him, but his brothers and sisters come to his aid. They tie strings around his waist and take off, towing Calvin along with them. He is excited as he sees the things he's read about, but soon he senses that they are heading into a hurricane. The starlings don't know what a hurricane is but heed his warning and take refuge in a cave. They are safe as the storm roars by. During the celebration that follows, Calvin hops and flaps in jubilation and realizes that he does know how to fly. The gouache illustrations show the starlings looking square and rather penguinlike. The pictures are pleasant but not interesting enough to carry the slight story. While a book that touts the pleasure and usefulness of reading is usually welcome, this one falls short.–Ieva Bates, Ann Arbor District Library, MIα(c) Copyright 2010.

Let's hear it for `geeky beaky'! If your insatiable bookworm has a huge appetite for books, he will love Calvin Can't Fly and totally relate. What a great book to celebrate and support the love and fun of reading. Comical illustrations capture the attention and coax giggles...just a great book to read out loud with your child. -Biblio Reads Children's Book Review |
