I've just recently started putting excerpts from books in my reviews to give you the flavor of them. But I can't do that with South because it's wordless.
However, to offset that lapse I've got extra page shots to offer, because I really don't think you can discern just how sweet and cute this book is from the cover alone. Thanks Alice Morley for the jpegs. You rock.

South is a story about a little bird who manages to miss out on migrating with the gang. He's resting under a tree when everyone else flies off, and when he wakes he finds himself not only left behind, but with no notion of how to go "south". The fun comes when a hero arrives. And of all creatures it might be, it's a cat who comes to his rescue!
South is a sweet book that makes what I call a wonderful snuggle-read. Which is to say that it's the sort of book that goes well with a warm chocolate chip cookie and a lap.
And I adore the message of this story. It's one that can tie in to a religious or ethical lesson of how we should befriend and aid others.
The artwork is in warm colors and the illustrations look marvelous on the soft brown-tone paper. The expressive artwork conveys the emotions well.
