| PreKindergarten-Grade 3-Like other chickens, Olvina can't fly, so she wonders why she has been invited to the Annual Bird Convention in Hawaii, a trip that requires a flight across the ocean. Her friend Will convinces her to go by airplane even though the idea frightens her. Despite her jitters, he manages to get her onto a plane, where she meets a penguin bound for the same destination. They have a grand time, and Olvina's postcard to Will enthusiastically declares, "Flying was easy!" Lin's gouache paintings are framed in patterned borders, and patterns decorate clothing, wallpaper, floors, and even airplanes as signature swirls dance across the sky. Visual jokes fill the pages-a deer flight attendant sports the name "Doey," a mouse rides the security conveyor belt with his tiny suitcase, and a monkey reclaims his bunch of bananas. Amy Hest's "Baby Duck" (Candlewick), another timid bird, is a perfect companion for Olvina.

| I loved Richard Scarry books when I was young, and this book reminds me of his. I love all of the animals characters and the fun details in the art. I think this is the perfect book for kids who are flying for the first time, and also just a fun storybook for anyone in general. The art is beautiful--wonderful patterns and bright colors. |
