Albert

Author: Donna Jo Napoli
Illustrator: Jim LaMarche


Comments:
Albert learns to take in the good and the bad sounds in life as well as nature itself when a family of birds choose his arm as their perch. This books shows what you can learn from nature and how it can enhance your life if embraced. I'm also interested in reading some of her young adult novel like Smile and Beast.
