Gina Calleja explains the basics of a family tree through two perky canaries,
Bloor and Christie. Calleja follows them through their wedding and the hatching
of their first brood of four chicks. Her illustrations are hilarious and
captivating while making the point about each offspring having a feature
resembling that of a parent or grandparent. One chick, although she resembles
her two grandmothers, has a bright red ribbon on her head! Where did that come
from? That's the whiff of mystery that climaxes the tale.
Highly recommended.
Joan Payzant is a retired teacher-librarian living in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia.
