Reviews

PreSchool-Grade 2-This is the story of a fly that doesn't grow wings. Her mother hastens to reassure her that "wings are not everything, they're just two little parts./You've got a good mind, and you've got a good heart," and goes on to admonish her to "Love your life, my dear daughter, and you'll never go wrong./Love each precious moment of life's sweet song." Illustrations in sunny colors and with attractively designed borders depict the natural world and complement the upbeat text. The moralistic tone and message make this an appropriate choice for libraries looking for titles with spiritual content.
