I highly recommend Jenny’s First Catch, written by Susan Levine and illustrated by Irene Bofill. It is a beautiful hardcover picture book about a young bird named Jenny who wants to surprise her mom by teaching herself to fish. As the story progresses, Jenny meets all different types of birds and learns about what makes each bird unique. As Jenny meets different types of birds, the author provides a photograph and facts about that type of bird, which is a wonderful opportunity to expand vocabulary and learn about different types of birds. The story also helps learn about important lessons such as asking for help, perseverance and being true to yourself. ( )
