Editorial Reviews

Review

"The Adventures of Darla & Mickey: The Bird Fountain is a lively early chapter book with silly illustrations which enhance the playful nature of the story. The story also conveys an important message about helping others and learning to step outside your comfort zone once in awhile to try something new.

I recommend picking up a copy." -Stacie Theis, Beach Bound Books."I got The Bird Fountain for my granddaughter and she just gets a kick out of those two parakeets, and the Bird Words page at the end of the story is a nice touch also. You can't go wrong with this book, your children will absolutely love it!"Jeanne Evans, Ret. Preschool Teacher. Head Start WCCAA

    My son loves this book. He was 7 years old at the time that he received the book and he wanted to read it every night before bed. It includes great illustrations and the story is both easy to follow and memorable. The author did a great job with this book and we look forward to the release of future titles from him.

    Two parakeet siblings have an adventure where they get to fly free for the first time. Their different personality types clash until they find a way to work together.
    Cute story but the grammar needs editing.

    I enjoyed this story about two bird siblings. They have different personalities and quibble like the best of siblings, but they did get into a grand adventure and proved themselves to be capable and full of integrity. The book was well written with dialogue that I enjoyed. My 5 and 8 year-old grandchildren didn’t have the patience for the length of text, but I enjoyed it thoroughly. We all loved the great illustrations.

    Reviewed in the United States on July 4, 2013

    "The Adventures of Darla & Mickey: The Bird Fountain" is an extraordinary story of triumph and wittiness. Kay El Magnus uses feathery, long-tailed characters to teach children the value of freedom, valor, and unity. Departing from ones comfort zone proves to be complex for one parakeet, who with the serendipitous help of his fearless sister, discovers solace not inside of the [bird] cage, but around a new bird fountain. This story of boldness and heroism appeals to both young children(3-11yrs) and the young at heart.

    I enjoyed reading this story with my 9 year old granddaughter and she was totally engrossed with it. The vivid illustrations captured her attention and she was ecstatic about the "Bird Words" educational component of the book. I love the fact that this book encourages parent/child interaction and prompts children to do a little research. I am looking forward to the next volume of Darla and Mickey!
