The Blurb On The Back:
Finn and his dog, Skip, are exploring the skies on a hang glider, when a flock of swans steals their map! As they set off on a mission to get it back, they uncover what’s going on in the skies.
Follow Finn and Skip as they learn how they can help keep the air clean and look after the birds that call it home …
They are happy to help where they can. What can you do?
( The Review (Cut For Spoilers): )
The Verdict:
The 4th in Brendan Kearney’s picture book series has the worthy aim of introducing young readers to environmental issues and what they can do to improve things but it’s heavy-handed and some of it would go over the head of the target readership. Also, although I liked Kearney’s stripped down illustrations, I must confess that I thought the swans were geese. Ultimately I applaud the intent but the execution didn’t work for me here.
ADVENTURES WITH FINN AND SKIP: BIRD was released in the United Kingdom on 4th August 2022. Thanks to the Amazon Vine Programme for the review copy of this book.
