Aviary Wonders Inc. by Kate Samworth
reviewed by Eli
Are you bored, uninspired, or just in need of a friend? If you answered yes to any of these questions, then Aviary Wonders Inc. Is the book for you. Aviary Wonders Inc. is a colorful and fantastical story brought to life by the illuminating illustrations of Kate Samworth.
Structured as an instruction manual and catalog for hand-made exotic birds, this picture book lets you create your own bird from a variety of options. With choices of body, beak, tail, legs, wings, collar, crest, and wattle and comb, this bird is truly your own.
I suggest this book for readers ten and up, though it can be enjoyed on different levels for all ages. Have a great time reading, and just remember that all parts must be securely attached before you let your bird take flight!
