This book is even more beautifully drawn than the last two. The style of drawing has changed somewhat, with curvier lines and more simplified designs, yet there is more detailed and intricate backgrounds and design work than before. The colouring is lush and looks great in print, some of the pages towards the end are positively radiant.
Great little youth friendly story but with interesting enough characters and humour for any age. I really love this series, I feel like it's some of the best comics I've seen since Tintin and Asterix.

You have to love Hilda! Beautifully crafted and a joy to read. A mature tale that shows that the best fairytales are for adults and children of all ages.

depth of story makes for magical reading and reading again

Our family loves the Hilda books. This newest adventure by author and illustrator Luke Pearson features Hilda in the big city, far away from the mountains she loves and her magical neighbors and friends: elves, trolls, giants and Log Man, to name a few. At least she has Twig, the antlered fox who is her best buddy. Hilda and her mom have moved to the big city and Hilda is keen to explore it as fully and freely as she did her mountain home. Her mother is understandably cautious, and is fearful for Hilda to go off alone. The adventure starts in earnest when Hilda finally does find herself lost in the city with a new bird companion who has a mystery and magical story of his own to tell. Perhaps there is more magic and mystery in the city then we think! It is a great book and a wonderful read for all ages(our household is ages 3 - 48) which grows in meaning with each reading.

Quandaries and challenges that imagines children as real moral beings

My nearly-5-year-old loves Hilda (rightly so). We loved the introductory book, but found Midnight Giant a step down; the situation was too abstract for my daughter to fully grok.
Bird Parade is a return to form and then some, it puts Hilda in a challenging new situation and doesn't flinch from depicting the real issues that come with being an outsider, or having moral intuitions that are not shared by peers.
Engaging, with true tension, true surprise, and true beauty -- can't speak highly enough of this series and this volume in specific. Can't wait, either, for the next volume!
