This is an amazing book! It is a sequel to the book “Henry Wondered.” The main character, Federico, is a quail who lives in the Rio Grande bosque. Federico loves to exaggerate. Sometimes he exaggerates a little too much. This book teaches kids that if you lie a lot, your friends will start to not believe you. It has amazing illustrations and a lot of great words. Hopefully, Federico can learn when not to exaggerate. Read the book to find out what happens.

Introduce your little one to birds and nature with this cute board book. This book has vibrant colors that fill you up with joy. The beautiful photos help you understand what each bird is like. There also are little fun facts that help a child learn about each bird. Little phrases help you remember the names of the birds and what they can do. I highly recommend this book for young readers!

I like this book because it is about history and I like history! This book tells people about Otto Lilienthal and his little brother, Gustav Lilienthal, and how they make a gliding machine. It took them many, many years to create it. The book includes a lot of fascinating facts and details. First Otto and Gustav thought they had to make a flying machine with wings that flap like a bird. Then they saw a stork gliding instead of flapping. It struck them that they had to make the wings glide, not flap. Find out what happens next by reading this amazing book.
