It is about an abandoned girl who finds a blue house in the woods, and befriends the old woman who lives there. Like a Fairytale, this story starts off with "Once,...", which signifies that the author is telling a fictional story. Unlike most fairytales, this story provides no dialogue. This allows the reader to rely on the pictures along with the story itself to understand the plot of the story. The story itself does not actually include any life lesson, or something to be learned by the audience, which I found to be a little odd while I was reading. The author was quite literally just telling a story. The illustrations in this story are also beautiful and compliment the story well! ( ) A cute read about a young girl that finds a beautiful blue house in the woods that is always is surrounded by birds. An old lady lives in the house, and as the young girl observes from afar, the old lady comes out of the house whenever the young girl is present. Eventually, the young girl and lady meet, because of the birds, and build a relationship. There are numerous types of birds shared in this text that would be great for students to research. I would also like to share this story with my students for developing inferring skills. This is a great text for the development of inferences as the read has to read in between the lines to understand the young girl is homeless. I love the softness of Rylant's stories. Some may call her tales silly, simple or corny. I claim her tales as good ole fashioned happy stories of a brighter time. In this tale an elderly woman lives is a small cottage. She loves and feeds birds and in return they gift her with their presence. A lonely, forlorn girl happens upon the cottage in the woods and notices the beauty of the woman and the birds. The birds join together in writing the word GIRL in the sky. In a magical way, the birds, the woman and a lonely girl join together..And, live happily ever after, What a lovely book to read on a rainy Friday afternoon, knowing that soon spring will occur and the promise of renewal begins again. A girl without a place to call home wanders through the woods and finds a blue house surrounded by all kinds of different birds. She watches as the birds sit still, but then scatter when an old women steps out of the door. For many days, the girl returns to watch the birds. But one day, the birds don't scatter, but instead spell the word "girl" in the sky for the old lady to see. The girl runs away and doesn't return for a few days. But eventually her yearning to see the birds leads her to return to the house and once again hide in the woods watching the birds. When the women opened the door, the girl took off running, but the owl who never moved flew off and caught her. The women came to help her, and they have lived happily together ever since.
