Synopsis
Caruso is afraid to fly.
And that's a big problem.
Because he is a bird.
One night
a wild gust of wind
blows Caruso
off his perch
and across
the stormy sky to
Sophie's window.
Who is Sophie?
Sometimes, just like Caruso,
you will find a friend
when you least expect it.
And sometimes a
wonderful friendship
can make you want to try
something you didn't think
you could do.

From School Library Journal
PreSchool-Grade 1–Fear of getting lost in the clouds or falling out of the sky keeps Caruso, a young pigeon, from attempting to fly. One evening, a strong wind sweeps him off his rooftop home and deposits him on the ledge of another building. The next day, Sophie, a dog, discovers him sitting outside her window and realizes that this fledgling needs help. She takes charge and carries the timid bird back to his parents. Several mornings later, he senses that the time is right to try his wings. He is elated with his newfound ability, which means that he can visit Sophie whenever the mood strikes. Watercolor illustrations in several sizes and revealing different perspectives depict a dove-colored hatchling and a fluffy brown puppy. With more dialogue and less character development, this story is not as engaging as Keller's Farfallina & Marcel (Greenwillow, 2002). However, it has value as a tale about friendship and encouragement, and the additional theme of a late bloomer ultimately mastering a skill increases its appeal.–Maryann H. Owen, Racine Public Library, WI
