3.5An interesting idea, but a little underwhelming to me when compared with the author's other works. I think the conservation-green message was not totally heavy-handed, but neither was it light and unassuming. That means Jeffers probably struck a reasonable balance. I wanted the story to end in a more interesting way. I loved the paper airplane concept, and the forest critters were fun. Jeffers always seems to create positive stories that highlight friendship and inclusion. In the end though, this one happened to just be ok. Recommended with some reservation. Las ilustraciones son geniales, fue una de las principales razones por las que lo compré. Yo creo que un niño lo va a disfrutar muchísimo. La historia es original también y para un niño pequeño debe ser increíble, alguien entre los siete u ocho años (o mucho mayor) posiblemente se aburra un poco, pero para alguien que comienza a leer o para esos niños que les encanta que les lean antes de dormir, es excelente.
Not quite as much fun as Incredible Book-Eating Boy, but that is a pretty tough act to follow.
