PreSchool-K-- A discontented ostrich repeatedly poses this question in Brown's brightly illustrated, yet pedestrian, picture book. An overly long neck and too-long legs, small wings, and a lack of initiative are all suggested as possible explanations. Ostrich earnestly tries to become airborne, even building himself a flying apparatus, with disasterous results. The other animals point out his many advantages, but he is only aware of his limitations. In the end, Ostrich's efforts are rewarded--he soars through the air--with a little help from his friends. While the bold, double-page watercolors are skillfully executed and a visual delight, the story is flat and mechanically told. The exotic setting and colorful wildlife are not enough to elevate this book above the mediocre. --Regina Pauly, Burlington County Library, Mt. Holly, NJ
