Oddbird
Isn't 'odd' just another word for 'special'?
Adjust your vision and see the world through the eyes of a unique little girl in a world too big for her. With pigeons for family and a squirrel for a friend, life for Oddy-all of three inches tall-is plain sailing as she flies on her brother Pikku's back, savours tasty seeds and jumps about in hopes of someday sprouting wings of her own! But what will Oddy do when thrust into the world of ordinary-and towering-humans? Who is she and where does she really come from?
Delve into the fantastical world of Oddbird, in which the normal boundaries between humans and animals are blurred by affection, joy and a dollop of the bizarre!

I threw the book away. It is really boring and way too repetitive for a children's book. What the heck was that?
The plot is interesting. A tiny, small girl adopted by a bird family, didn't know she's human and she had to go back to her original family.
Sounds good, right? I thought so too. But it's so boring. And the writing style is really monotonous. The emotions and dialogues seem too forced. No, it doesn't work that way.
I don't care anymore what happens in the book.
Children's books are really messed up sometimes.

This book deserves 1 star. It is poorly written, the characters are not believable, and the plot make no sense. The characters want one thing on one page but forget about it a few pages later. All problems get resolved really quickly and nothing really develops. This is really unfortunate because this book has such a great premise and beautiful illustrations (and hence I'm giving it 2 stars), but the story does no justice to either.
