Plume by Isabelle Simler

Plume is an almost wordless counting book that chronicles the adventures of a cat that likes to collect feathers.

(Birds Included: goose, peacock, seagull, ibis, nuthatch, guinea fowl, owl, stork, eagle, blackbird, kingfisher, jay, parrot finch, pigeon, turkey, swallow, chickadee, duck, and even more birds represented by the feathers on the end papers.)

Thoughts: Plume is a beautiful book and quite different from the usual counting books. My favorite illustrations are owl, kingfisher, and duck. This book is a great addition to my birds storytime theme. Plume offers many ways to engage readers--count the feathers, find the cat, etc.

Themes: Birds, Counting/Numbers, Cats
