My Happy Year by E. Bluebird written by Paul Meisel is a narrative nonfiction told in the chirpy voice of the young bluebird. Part of  A Nature Diary series, this book is highly recommended as a read aloud to children and classrooms who are open to nonfiction that is illustrated with acrylic  paintings. With just a sentence or two entry for each of the 19 days scattered throughout the year June 1 egg cracking to the following June 4 next generation of eggs, the book combines facts with colorful, large paintings. Children will ask, “Is it real?” Yes, this is what a bluebird’s first year is like. No, a bluebird does not speak English. But oh what a fun way to be introduced to this colorful bird. The voice of this happy little bird will draw readers and listeners into her world and into science. Many additional facts and glossary are tucked onto the back and on the endpapers. Highly recommended by Margy Soule, Coffin Elementary School Brunswick, Maine
