Brother Bird peers down at the \"other sky,\" a stretch of blue river he wants to explore. So she takes his wings, and he gains her fins, and soon each is soaring or swimming through the other's world. Then Brother Bird becomes breathless, and Sister Fish's wings get heavy, so they each return to their natural habitats. But she occasionally leaps out of the water, mystifying the other fish, and he frequently dip-dips his wings, piquing the curiosity of fellow birds. The story's sentiments are confused; both fish and bird seem completely at home in their new worlds. Only at the very last second do either of them experience difficulties that make them switch back. Readers will understand what Sister Fish gains, but Brother Bird's improved way of flying isn't clear in either text or illustration. This modest work is easy to pass up. Ages 4-8.\u003cbr\u003eCopyright 1989 Reed Business Information, Inc.\u003cbr\u003e      From School Library Journal      \u003cbr\u003eK - Grade 1-- Brother Bird and Sister Fish trade wings and fins to enter each other's worlds in this folktale-like story based on a BBC program. Kennaway uses the possibilities of watercolor to distinguish between the worlds seen through water and through air while portraying the vegetation and animals as stylized, patterned shapes. The eager, round-eyed faces give a silly quality to the brightly colored pictures. The text also uses folk-like patterns of repetition and a Caribbean turn of phrase to tell the slight plot which resembles a pourquoi tale. Nevertheless, this appears to be an original story rather than a true folktale, and there isn't much to it outside of an exuberance that is conveyed better in the illustrations than in the words. --Carolyn Caywood, Virginia Beach Public Library\u003cbr\u003eCopyright 1989 Reed Business Information, Inc.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"sb-details\"\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/john-agard-books\"\u003eJohn Agard\u003c\/a\u003e (all their books in stock)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublished:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1988\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 32\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/strong\u003e Picture Knight\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9780340486955\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Picture Knight","offers":[{"title":"Standard Secondhand — £2.02","offer_id":47910241960113,"sku":"SB-0340486953-C3","price":2.02,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0618\/2669\/5345\/files\/0340486953.jpg?v=1789690454"},{"product_id":"dig-away-two-hole-tim-picture-knight-s","title":"Dig Away Two-hole Tim (Picture Knight S.)","description":"\u003cp\u003eTim's love for holes of all kinds often get him into trouble.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"sb-details\"\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/john-agard-books\"\u003eJohn Agard\u003c\/a\u003e (all their books in stock)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublished:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1990\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 32\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hodder \u0026amp; Stoughton\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9780340506165\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Hodder \u0026 Stoughton","offers":[{"title":"Standard Secondhand — £3.95","offer_id":47910243205297,"sku":"SB-0340506164-C3","price":3.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0618\/2669\/5345\/files\/0340506164.jpg?v=1789238125"},{"product_id":"say-it-again-granny-twenty-poems-from-caribbean-proverbs-a-magnet-book","title":"Say it Again Granny!: Twenty Poems from Caribbean Proverbs (A Magnet book)","description":"\u003cp\u003eA collection of twenty poems inspired by or based on Caribbean proverbs, such as \"The older the violin the sweeter the tune\" and \"Bad dancer mustn't blame the floor.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"sb-details\"\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/john-agard-books\"\u003eJohn Agard\u003c\/a\u003e (all their books in stock)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublished:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1987\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 48\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/strong\u003e Methuen Children's Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9780416043723\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Methuen Children's Books","offers":[{"title":"Standard Secondhand — £2.53","offer_id":47911369736369,"sku":"SB-0416043720-C3","price":2.53,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0618\/2669\/5345\/files\/0416043720.jpg?v=1789226867"},{"product_id":"under-the-moon-and-over-the-sea","title":"Under The Moon And Over The Sea","description":"\u003cp\u003eDivided into five sections, each illustrated by a different artist, this collection of poetry conjures the sights and sounds of the Caribbean; the experience of living there - and of leaving for other lands.
