In this latest adventure, Really Bird finds a beautiful red box and spends the day deciding what to use it for.
Meet Really Bird, a small bird who lives in a large city park with his friends Cat, Rabbit, and Pup. In each story, Really Bird finds himself really wanting something—to be bigger, to have his fair share, or to be a leader—to be really silly, funny, strong, cool, happy or brave. And when he feels something, he really feels it. Each story is an entertaining, character-driven caper based on relatable social/emotional themes, delivered with surprise twists, high drama, and expert comic timing. Along the way, lessons are learned about qualities such as teamwork and compassion. The emphasis is on character growth and development through creative problem solving. Friendship and emotional engagement are at the heart of every story. In Really Bird, Really Lucky, Really Bird finds a bright red box, his lucky box. He shows it off to all his friends, who are mostly not impressed. Really Bird tries to think of a use for the box and tries out several ideas. Eventually all his friends come together and gather fruit in the box. The whole episode ends when the friends enjoy each other's company and eat the fruit together . . . and then someone takes a nap in it! Children always love playing with boxes, and this entertaining story will inspire them to find their own lucky box for imaginative play.

REALLY BIRD, REALLY LUCKY is a fun new Really Bird adventure where he has found a red box. Really Bird and his friends explore and decide how to play with this exciting new box, coming up with some fun and creative ideas for a great day spent playing together.

What I loved: This is an overall simple story told through a graphic novel that will work well for early independent readers. The plot is straight-forward and the use of text is minimal to tell the story. Readers gaining independence will appreciate the simplicity of the read as well as the colorful panels and images that help to tell the story. This new Really Bird adventure is sure to inspire creativity as children think about what they would like to use a box for and all the ways they could imagine it.

The simple themes around friendship and imaginative play are great for young readers. With large text and easily attributable text boxes, this is one that they can follow along easily. Discussion questions in the back add to the learning process with a caregiver, and encourage thinking more deeply about the story.

Final verdict: REALLY BIRD, REALLY LUCKY is an engaging graphic novel that will work well for early independent readers.
