About book Kite Day: A Bear And Mole Story (2012)

I think that this is a good book for early readers (my completely unprofessional opinion). The sentences are short and simple, the words repetitive. The illustrations are lovely and soft, but colorful. My daughter and I also enjoyed it because, it seems like it will have a sad, disappointing ending, and instead it has a surprising and hopeful ending. Plus, it is a book about kites, and the librarian told me that good picture books about kites are hard to find. I really loved the way this book was written. Simple and clear. However when I got to the end I had to go back to make sure I didn't miss something because it made no sense and ended abruptly. I had to make up my own ending in assuming the mama bird was saying thank you because the kite had protected her babies from the storm (even thought that is not explained at all). I had to gather that from the pictures. My kids still liked it though.
