Simler, Isabelle Plume, PICTURE BOOK. Eerdmans, 2017. $17.
Extra tall pages features feathers on one page and the bird from whence the feathers came on the opposing. Some examples are duck, pigeon, eagle, and swallow. There is an added feature of the appearance of a cat, who is fascinating with the feathers and is finally revealed to be a feather collector.
The feathers in this book are incredibly drawn, they are just stunning. The birds seem like a quick afterthought. I would add this book to my library if there was just a bit more information about feathers themselves or if it could be used for students to identify feathers found specific to our area. The cat was cute and funny, but sort of made me sad, as I recently read a statistic of how song birds are struggling due to pet cat depredations.
