This bright bird bonanza...my girls ate up! A great addition for a mixed age-range family--the bright palette will keep the younger ones stationary while the contextual language consolidation will be enough for the older listeners. -- Striking Keys * Striking Keys * Twelve years after Hooray for Fish!, Cousins invites listeners to join in as part of the boisterous flock...The book’s large size and format, along with the second-person narration and bold illustrations, create a natural opportunity for children to become a physical part of the story. * The Horn Book * An exuberant celebration of birds of all kinds...The cozy ending showing a baby parrot cuddling up close with Mama in his nest and the rear endpapers of sleeping birds are perfect for naptime. All in all, it's a great way to introduce bird behavior without lecturing—young children will feel like hopping, pecking, and soaring with these exuberant feathered friends. * Kirkus Reviews *
