Summary: Classic childrens book that I will never forget
Review: There is nothing amazing to this story, yet I have not forgot it years after hearing it. Maybe it was the librarians voice, or the big blue cover, but I fell in love with this book. A very sweet, charming book with your typical mother and baby story. Will buy for my kids one day :P

Summary: Beautiful Illustrations
Review: This book does justice to the one issue that it tries to cover... differences. In words that small children can understand, it deals with the idea that people are different. We can appreciate the fact that "birds" eat "bugs" without having to like "bugs" ourselves. There are plenty of other things we have in common with people who are different from us. It doesn't ever use words like "culture" or "race" but the concepts are very clear, and dealt with in a sensitive and heartwarming manner. And to top it all off, the illustrations are simply breathtaking.

Summary: Stellaluna Review
Review: This book is about a young fruit bat, who gets separated from her family and has to learn how to live like another bird. She has to overcome sitting upside-down and and eat the same food as birds, like worms. I liked this book when I was young and I still like it now. I like this book because of its equisite illustrations and its rich content. The author, Janell Cannon, really worked his magic in this book. He has made other books but this one is the best out of all of them. This book is a lot more interesting than all of his other book. It is amazing. I would recommend this book to all kids who like birds and bats.

Summary: A beautiful story
Review: This book is about learning to accept yourself as you really are, and that your differences are not things to be ashamed of or try to suppress...and that even when it seems like you don't fit in, there are others out there that you can relate to, while still loving the people who are different from you. A wonderful lesson for children. :)

Summary: My favorite
Review: This book is one of my all time favorite children's books, possibly THE favorite. The illustrations are gorgeous, the story is very touching, and the content is educational. My daughter loves this book. We read it over and over when she was younger, and now we read it to our new baby. The story is so sweet, it literally puts a lump in my throat and tears to my eyes when I read it. Enjoy it with your children!

Summary: Stellaluna
Review: What a wonderful Book! This book has great illustrations that tell the story very well.
This book is about a bat who's mother is attacked by an owl when he is just a little baby. Luckily enough when he fell from his mother's arms he landed into a birds nest and they took him in. Although the birds and Stellaluna are very different, the become a family. Although Stellaluna never really feels at home.
One day Stellaluna gets yelled at by the Mama bird because she was hanging upside down and the little birds decided to do the same. The two animals have very different personalities.
This story teaches us a lot about acceptance and differences between things. But even though people and animals are different doesn't mean they can't get along. ~Kellie~
