Reviews
Fans of that book [Ten Birds] certainly will welcome this companion, but it stands on its own.--School Library Journal I loved this book. Written and illustrated by Cybele Young, it's a sort of sequel to her Governor General's Award-winning Ten Birds. The illustrations are gorgeous, black and white, lines and shadows. The craft is exquisite.--Globe and Mail This book is as fun for grown-ups as it is for us, on account of those funny names.--The Wall Street Journal Young's skill and control in her use of black-and-white line and her humorous inventiveness will appeal to young and old alike.--Kirkus Reviews
