Both titles have some new reviews.
- National-Louis University, USA published a review by Dr Meenakshi Mohan of It's Not a Bird yet in their Summer 2008 issue of The Adjunct Connection.
"If arts in education is treated like Cinderella, Ursula Kolbe has appeared in the guise of a Fairy God Mother….Through her books, she encourages educators in justifying that arts is not merely a language that children speak, but it is also a powerful tool for learning. It is a thread that unites the curriculum. It’s Not a Bird Yet is a beautifully written book that all teachers of young children must have."
