Rare breed

An artist lived on a mountain and every day went out to paint. One morning, a huge flock of dodos suddenly appeared. The artist was very upset by the big, ugly, bizarre birds whose number made them impossible to ignore. Eventually, the artist learned to love them. So do readers. Dodos litter the pages of this book, their color and variety resembling squares in a quilt. Then the dodos disappear as suddenly as they appeared. The artist coped in a very special way, provding children with a rich lesson. I hope this rare breed of book does not go the way of the dodo birds. Alyssa A. Lappen

I used this book with my fourth grade class. They loved it. I had picked it up years ago, and enjoyed it, so I though I would share it. It is inspirational story and shows the influences of the world around us! It teaches kids to treasure everything no matter how small.
