While his siblings and cousins all learn to fly, Calvin lets his imagination soar by burying his beak in a book instead. Unfortunately, when it's time to migrate, the land-bound "geeky beaky" realizes his family will have to carry him. Then, on their way south, they run into a hurricane--and only Calvin, with his book learning, can save the day! A true celebration of the joy of reading.
