Book Rec for the Month

This time of year aren't we all looking for something bright and cheerful to take in?  We love Kevin Henkes' book, Birds.  The illustrations by Laura Dronzek are interesting and beautiful and Henkes' writing is always a joy to read.  This is one of those children's books that is loved by the parent and child alike.  We suggest this book as a great night time read or something to spark an activity with a child.  After reading Birds, make a pine cone bird feeder to put in a tree.  (Spread peanut butter around a pine cone, dip the pine cone in bird seed and hang with a wire in a tree near a house window.  Then enjoy seeing the winter birds come for a treat in your yard!)
