[Lorna · Rating 3 out of 5]

An oversized bird magically appears in town and Sedric befriends him. Once he learns that the bird just wants bread, they agree he can stay if he helps out. Often his help is more trouble than its worth to the townspeople. When Feathers gets swept away in a storm, however, the town realizes just how much they miss him.

[The Brothers · Rating 3 out of 5]

A somewhat odd story of a gigantic bird arriving in a town and causing havoc. That's pretty much it.

Nice illustrations.

[Karen · Rating 1 out of 5]

What a terribly long, boring and pointless excuse for drawing a giant red bird.
