Why read it?
1 author picked Feathers for Lunch as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
Although many of Lois Ehlert’s works are now classics, I wasn’t familiar with her work until I was an adult. Her illustration style and simplicity of her books have had a big impact on my work. This book about the greatest enemy of backyard birds (the housecat) is graphically gorgeous and (spoiler alert) ends with a hungry cat and all the birds unharmed.
From Jorey's list on birds for little kids.
