Why read it?

1 author picked Fly High, Fly Low as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

This book was a favorite from my own childhood and, more recently, I loved reading it to my own kids. The story has just the right amount of drama as the father bird searches high and low for his missing family. I also think it’s fun to see a story about birds with a predominantly urban setting (it is about pigeons living in San Francisco), though I may be biased because it’s set near where I live today. 

From Jorey's list on birds for little kids.
