But after reading it, I feel well informed about this remarkable bird.But this isn't a book of facts per se.

Review: Quickly! Quickly!
Some years ago, little Bongani sprunginto life. I had this to say about him:He ‘is impatient to grow and learnand be more than he is. His family temper his yearnings with humour and ancientfables to foster a sense of compassion and tenacity. As does Bongani, theyeventually succeed.’
Bongani’s realisation came, Slowly!Slowly! It was how he learnt to catch his monkey but also learn self-temperance.Happily, Bongani is back in T M Clarke and Helene Magisson's latest edition of his life, Quickly!Quickly!

Review: Crumbs
Crumbs is a beautifulrumination on what it is to be kind, compassionate, aware of others, and toshare. We know it’s cold out, but we are warmed by this story.A little girl,Ella, who has spent her saved up coins on a toasty warm scarf in the thick ofthe New York winter, sits at a table waiting for her father to bring her lunchfrom a nearby kiosk.
As she waits, she becomes aware of two beings who arehungry: a one-legged bird, who sits on the chair back opposite her; and a manwith his life in a bag on his back, who sits on a stoop across the way.

Review: The Very Best Doughnut
I feel like Ineed to write the Very Best Review of The Very Best Doughnut. becausethis book - part of Pan Macmillan’s Our Stories series celebratingmulticulturalism - is quite delicious in all the Very Best of Ways.
Fridays are doughnut days in Adam’s family, so he takes an iced doughnut to school for morning tea. Except when it’s Ramadan. Because then, the older members of his family do not eat or drink between sunrise and sunset.
So today is Friday and Adam has a problem. He is determined to be like the rest of his family and fast from sunup to sundown, even though his mother thinks he’s too young and should wait a couple of years. But the real issue is, can Adam actually wait ALL DAY for his very special doughnut?

Review: Miss Understood
Little Red Riding Hood isone of the most widely recognizable stories in the world. Over the years, therehave been many MANY adaptations of the folk story, from movies to books andeverything in between. But, has anyone really gone and thought if it was alljust one big misunderstanding?Maybe there is no villain, but rather a set of unfortunate circumstances and a touch of bigotry that resulted in one of the most popular stories of the last 400 years?
