Parrots Over Puerto Rico by Susan L. Roth and Cindy Trumbore

The unique thing about this book is the pictures. The illustrations are both vertically oriented, and made of paper and cloth collages. There is so much going on in each picture and it makes it very interesting to look at. I really enjoyed that they were different from most books in both ways. The length of each picture made it feel sometimes as though the reader is in the image. That was a very interesting feature. I did not like the amount of explanation in this book. It was interesting to learn about the history of Puerto Rico and of the parrots from there, but I found it difficult to focus on what I was reading.
