"Friends of a Feather" written by Bill Cosby, illustrated by Erika Cosby

This book is about Feathers, who is a beautiful bird that loves to fly by the crowds at Beach by the Rock.The crowds swoon at his beauty. However, Hog, who his Feathers best friend, gets jealous that Feathers always gets all the attention. Hog decides it is his turn to impress the crowds with his amazing tricks. He can dive down into the water and come back up bringing a fish. This gets him all the attention, while Feathers gets a bit jealous. While Hog and Feathers are competing for the attention of the people, one of Hog's tricks goes wrong and he injures his wings. Like a true best friend, Feathers comes to his rescue and pops his wing back into place. The two realize how petty their fight was and decide to work together on their shows to the crowds.

This a good story for children to read because again, it has a great moral. I really love stories that have good morals because I believe chilren can learn so much from reading these kinds of stories. I think it also discusses topics that all children can relate to, friendship and jealousy. As we have discussed in class, it is important for children to make connections with stories. I believe children could with this story.
