Best Friends Bring Out Our Best
Wrens are born to sing! So, what do you do when you are a wren who can only squeak? Poor little Wren Three had this very problem. Though Mamma Wren and her other siblings, Wren One and Wren Two, loved her very much, Wren Three could not sing like they could. One day, Wren Three makes a new friend: Picco, the piccolo, and they soon share their talents with each other. Will Wren Three ever be able to sing? What could possibly turn Wren Three’s squeak into a song? Perhaps true friendship holds the key to success.

Picco and Wren Three is a children’s picture book for ages 1-7 and their parents.

Review

Mama Wren was happy that her eggs had finally hatched to produce three lovely Wren chicks. Soon two of her chicks start singing, but Wren Three could only manage a funny squeak and it made her sad. One morning, Wren Three heard beautiful music coming from a window. She flew to the window and found a Piccolo playing his music. Wren Three and Piccolo soon became friends. Wren Three could then have fun, flying around with Piccolo on her back as he played his music. All the fun ended when something terrible happened to Piccolo while flying on Wren Three's back. What happened to Piccolo and would Wren Three ever learn to sing? Find out more in Catherine Ann Russell's Picco and Wren Three.

Catherine Ann Russell's Picco and Wren Three will appeal to lovers of children's adventure books. Catherine's integration of the storyline with the colorful images by Janell E Robisch was amazing. It's almost as if the images tell the story by themselves. The deep shades of color only make them even more enthralling. I loved the way that the author brings warmth to the words and images. The author's choice of words will enrich your child's vocabulary and improve their English. Catherine delivers the moral of the story in simple yet engrossing ways. From Wren Three's determination to sing, kids can learn to persevere, be ambitious, disciplined, and perhaps most important of all, be patient. They will also learn to be sincere friends.

Such a sweet story. We are not all born with the same skills but each one finds their strengths and successes. The unexpected friendship of a wren and a piccolo! Utterly charming. Acceptance in a family, support and caring in a friendship. Life becomes richer and new skills emerge. An engaging tale with lovely illustrations for the very young, and good life teaching for both young and old! I recommend this book!

Sweet children’s story with cute illustrations

Reviewed in the United States on September 29, 2022

Verified Purchase

Cute book about unconditionally loving your family, despite differences. Also shows that you can admire and be friends with someone who does something you admire, even if you can’t do it yourself. This is the opposite of jealousy and a good lesson for kids to learn.

It also shows that you shouldn’t give up on each other. It’s sweet that the baby wren learns how to sing by trying to inspire picco to heal. Nice illustrations and a loving story

My 7 year old (and I) just loved this story. We read together all of the time and it was refreshing to find such an original book. I loved the creative problem solving between Picco and Wren 3 to find solutions to their difficulties/differences. The illustrations in this book were fun and beautiful too. I highly recommend this book…it was definitely a hit in our household!

Appreciation of Differences, Love heals

Reviewed in the United States on September 16, 2022

Verified Purchase

As a mom with a child with differences, I so appreciated the way Wren Three struggled with being different despite her families acceptance…then creatively found a way to overcome it by helping her piccolo friend fly. He could play music while she flew. But when her friend Picco got hurt, it was her concern for him and commitment to helping him heal, that helped her find her voice. The book demonstrates that having differences can be painful but acceptance, creativity, love and perseverance can help us find the gifts that differences bring.
