While the awesome storytelling and plucky hero carry this tale, the cast of supporting characters keeps young readers entertained. Against overwhelming odds, Bitty, the "canary in the coal mine," brings about changes that help his co-workers, both human (coal miners) and avian. Adventure, problem-solving, and perseverance play leading thematic roles in this delightful and memorable read. Great for independent reading or for reading aloud!
