A winsome warthog searches the plumage in his neighborhood for the owner of a beautiful lost feather because 'it's the right thing to do!' the splendidly eye-catching illustrations are as endearing as the storyline in this witty tale of chance friendship. The infamous eyeballs bounce and flutter from page to page bringing the warthog's righteous quest to life. An informative glossary of the birds encountered along the way provides educational insight into the colorful world of our fine feathered friends.
I bought this book for my 18 month old because we like birds and the illustrations looked cute. I love the sweet story and the singsong rhymes like Dr. Seuss. Such a fun story and great illustrations - it didn't take long until I had memorized the whole thing, which is nice because my daughter can hold the book and turn the pages and jiggle the eyes while I recite the story to her. Highly recommend it!
A very fun and uplifting story to read to your children.

We read to our children every day and I look forward to reading this book especially. It is so enlightening and a joy to read. I wish more stories had such a positive inspiration as Friends of a Feather!
WONDERFUL - A biased review

A wonderful book, both the pictures and words, and it really informs you about lots of birds. A sense of adventure that's mixed with suspense, the joy and the fun of the book is intense. The story is brilliant, the drawings sublime, and they manage to carry it off all in rhyme. So buy it, enjoy it, it's full of surprise, and not to forget, it's got googly eyes. Now the author's my brother, I have to confess, but that won't mean that you'll like the book any less.
Beautifully illustrated, playfully written and educational!

An adorable book that easily catches your eye as well as the eye of your child. Arlen Cohn writes in a Dr. Suess like style which children and adults will enjoy together. An imaginitive story that introduces your children to different kinds of birds, with a summary at the end, giving a non-fiction description of each bird in an interesting way that is sure to keep your childs interest. The illustrations by Don Sullivan are absolutely fantastic, sure to make for hours on enjoyment! Highly recommended!
