“I liked it. It made me feel lightheaded like a bird. This book made me sleepy. I didn’t like it because kids should not be turned into birds. It made me feel like my grandma might turn me into a bird.”
“I wouldn’t recommend this book to my friend; they might get scared of being turned into things and it was kind of boring.”
“I would recommend this book because they might like to imagine being a bird and flying.”
“People who love birds, magic, funny things, and using their imaginations would like this book.”
“This book made reminded me of Roald Dahl’s book The Witches.”
