I enjoyed this picture-book retelling of this tale, although I would have appreciated a little more detail, when it came to the sources Climo used. Her very brief afterword, of no more than a sentence or two, in which she mentions that Aesop told a similar tale, and that most of the folk traditions of Europe (as well as the Chippewa) contain a variant of it, didn't really clarify which tradition this retelling reflected. Still, the story itself was engaging - part pourquoi tale, explaining how wren came to have his appearance, and part morality tale, imparting a lesson about the importance of creative thinking - and the illustrations by Ruth Heller were bright and appealing. I particularly liked the purplish-gray feather to be found floating on most of the pages. I see that Helen Ward has also retold this tale, in her The King Of The Birds - I may have to take a look at that one as well, in order to contrast and compare. ( )
