Come Again, Pelican by Don Freeman

I've always loved Don Freeman's books and have found them particularly enjoyable while sharing them with my children and grandchildren. I was pleasantly surprised to find he'd recently written another one and was privileged to receive a complimentary review copy from Plough Publishing. 

This story is fairly short and sweet. It's a story about a young boy named Ty and his family visit to the beach. 

When Ty arrives at the beach, he's excited to be in a familiar place and immediately goes off to look for his favorite bird, a large pelican. 

As Ty continues his adventure, the story takes an unexpected turn where both Ty and the bird share a special exchange. 

The story focuses on important character values such as kindness, patience, and diligence. 

I think children of all ages will enjoy this book but especially those between the ages of 3 and 10. 

I can't wait to read this book to my granddaughter, Heather, who loves not only the beach but also wildlife. I think she'll relate to the story well and enjoy learning how Ty and the Pelican help each other. 

Thank you, Plough Publishing, for allowing me to review this book in exchange for my honest review. It was my pleasure to read it.
