Book Reviews of Stellaluna - Oversize edition
Book Review: A Unique, Beautiful Book
Summary: 5 Stars
Well, I certainly don't know how it is possible that I have not read STELLALUNA, by Janell Cannon, until now. I recently purchased this very popular children's book for my three year old daughter, on the strong recommendation of a friend. STELLALUNA is a lovely, touching story, and both my daughter and I are enjoying it very much.
A young fruit bat named Stellaluna is separated from her mother and winds up in a nest of baby birds. The mother bird, finding another baby in her nest, feeds and raises Stellaluna along side her own babies, Flitter, Flap, and Pip. But mother bird doesn't know anything about being a bat, only a bird, so she teaches Stellaluna to be the best bird a bat can be. Stellaluna learns to eat bugs, sleep right side up, and fly during the day. She is not a graceful bird, and she doesn't like the bugs, but Stellaluna tries very hard to be like her nest mates. In the end, Stellaluna is reunited with her family and learns what it means to be a beautiful and graceful bat. But she remembers her bird family, and knows that she, Flitter, Flap, and Pip will always be friends.
This sweet little book is a new take on the story of the ugly duckling. While Stellaluna was a clumsy bird, she certainly is a graceful bat. Likewise, her bird friends can't do a lot of bat things, but they are perfect at being beautiful birds. STELLALUNA is a very simple story that teaches many great lessons. Be kind to others. Be yourself. Being different doesn't mean you can't be friends.
STELLALUNA's illustrations are quite lovely...they simply glow. The soft muted colors, the rich texture, and intricate details bring this story to life. The expressions on the faces of the bats and birds make it easy for young children to relate to these characters. "Look, Mommy," said my wee one, "look how happy Stellaluna is! She found her mommy!"
STELLALUNA is a charming tale that makes these little fruit bats seem cute and sweet, and a lot less icky. With 2 pages of bat notes at the end, this book tries to teach children (and adults!) the truth about bats and to dispel some of the negative feelings that have built up around them. Highly recommended.
