This is a fun retelling of the Aesop fable, "The Lark in the Cornfield." The narrative is fun to read, with lots of simple dialogue and colorful pictures. We especially loved the funny, fuzzy bird who always had something different to say from her siblings. I would not call this a "Level 1" story, however. I would consider it a "Level 2."
