At the outset of this book I was worried that it was going to be too absurd for an adult. I was wrong. It was a cute story, with a wonderful message for anyone willing to listen. Knowing that this book was written for 4th-5th graders, I believe that it's a wonderful addition to any classroom library or as a mandatory class read.
There are many emotions contained within the pages and several underlying messages/morals to be explored. It would make an endearing, thoughtful, inciteful and appealing book to delved into for comprehension, context, content and enjoyment.
I would definately recommend this book for individual or class reading.

- I am a single mom, of two pre-teens (1 boy/1 girl). I'm a university education major and substitute teacher. I enjoy an active life with my kids. We roller skate, hike, swim, watch movies, read, and play with our pets. We are collectively working to help save our wildlife and our planet. My kids are my world.
I agree this is a great book. It provides a positive outcome. It can be used in a classroom to increase students’ self-esteem. Even though it is a swan, kid will be able to relate just as our book club has. I highly recommend this book
ReplyDeleteI found that I enjoyed the book! I'm looking forward to sharing it with my fifth grader and talking to her about what she gets out of it. The verbal exchanges between the cob and his wife were a lot of fun. Even though the cob is a vain bird and talks too much, there are times when he gives some great advice. Louis is the image of strength and tenacity. He overcomes so much and does so with a great attitude. There are some wonderful lessons in this book and I love the author’s sense of humor.
