Avery (Walker Books Australia, 32 pages, ages 4-8). Frank has more ideas than your average penguin, and although they don\u2019t always work out as planned, he keeps trying. When he shows up wearing a red hat before, the other penguins are skeptical, having never seen the color red before. He hands it to Neville for a closer look, and by an unfortunate coincidence, Neville gets swallowed by a killer whale at that very moment. The other penguins back away immediately, and a disappointed Frank drops that hat on the snow. Thinking the color may have been the problem, Frank creates a variety of other hats, but the penguins reject them all. Finally, he gives up, only to unexpectedly discover that the seals have been picking up his discarded hats, and they love them! This encourages Frank to keep creating, and on the last page, he\u2019s shown unveiling his latest invention\u2026the scarf.<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignright size-large is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/kidsbookaday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/image-1.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"23531\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/kidsbookaday.com\/2025\/06\/08\/one-of-a-kind-birds\/image-677\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/kidsbookaday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/image-1.png\" data-orig-size=\"450,403\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"image\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/kidsbookaday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/image-1.png?w=300\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/kidsbookaday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/image-1.png?w=450\" width=\"450\" height=\"403\" src=\"https:\/\/kidsbookaday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/image-1.png?w=450\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-23531\" style=\"width:auto;height:200px\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p><strong>Seven: A Most Remarkable Pigeon<\/strong> by Sandra Nickel, illustrated by Aim\u00e9e Sicuro (Candlewick, 40 pages, ages 4-8). When a baby pigeon arrives alone\u2013usually there are two pigeon eggs\u2013his parents try to make up for it by giving him the name Seven, considered lucky in the pigeon community, since the farthest a pigeon has flown home is 7,000 miles. Seven has an excellent sense of smell and gets great joy from collecting flowers and eating rice. His parents, who collect straw and twigs and eat bread crumbs like the rest of the pigeons, frown on these activities and try to get Seven to conform. And the rest of the flock is horrified when Seven doesn\u2019t learn to home right away, instead following the yummy smells all around him. Seven tries to be like the other pigeons, but it makes him sad. When the flock gets fogged in by clouds after a long journey, Seven\u2019s keen sense of smell brings them home again, and the other pigeons begin to see the value of Seven\u2019s uniqueness. Includes additional information about pigeons.<\/p>\n<p>Both of these books use humorous storytelling to teach important lessons about being true to yourself and honoring your own unique gifts.  Although they\u2019re quite different from each other, I loved the illustrations in both books portraying Frank\u2019s and Seven\u2019s urban and Arctic environments.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Frank\u2019s Red Hat by Sean E.
