Helpful Score: 2
This is a wonderful book about a tenacious girl whose family owns a funeral home. Comfort Snowberger must learn to live up to her name as she struggles with losing her best friend to other 'cooler' friends, the death of her dear Great-Great Aunt Florentine, the sudden loss of her loyal dog Dismay, and the nuances of her obnoxiously lovable cousin Peach. Told through the eyes of an astutely self-aware young girl, Each Little Bird That Sings is an enjoyable read that leaves you wanting more as it realistically avoids the happily-ever-after ending to allows for reader contemplation. Recommended for grades 3-6.
