Sharp-minded Carrasco can be a bit literal for his own good in this curiosity-lauding picture book about untangling metaphors for oneself. When a space-invading neighbor he's avoiding declares him a ""strange bird,"" it's enough to prompt him to inspect himself for wings--and even wonder if he might be able to fly. The amusing cartoon illustrations focus on expressive faces, bold movements, and other exaggerated details as Carrasco tries out the neighbor's decree and ultimately finds it lacking. Her error is no real loss, though, because of how much he learns about actual birds along the way! --Foreword Reviews
