AlbakiReads Editorial

A migration adventure in left and right

Simon’s mistaken turn separates him from his flock, turning the search for the other gulls into a sequence of directional choices. Young readers participate by tracking left and right as Simon encounters animals who offer directions. Page turns and a gatefold make the book’s physical format part of that activity, while the journey ranges through imaginative settings including space and a return to the past. The migration premise gives the directional practice a simple story framework, and the closing question leaves Simon facing another choice when his flock is ready to move again.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Children ages 4–8 practicing left and right
  • Young readers who enjoy interactive stories with page-turn and gatefold activities
  • Families and educators seeking a story built around following directions

Book overview

A migrating bird loses sight of his flock in this interactive story that teaches left and right

It's migration season, but when Simon's flock turns "Left!" he accidentally turns right--and finds himself separated from his friends. To find his flock, Simon asks other animals to point him in the right direction--but Simon (and the reader!) must remember their lefts and rights.

Readers flip through the pages and open a gatefold, following Simon as he turns left and right--past monsters, through space, on either side of the globe, and even back in time until he finally finds his flock! Reunited and ready to restart their migration, all the seagulls go "Left!" again. Will Simon follow them, or go his own way?

Expressive illustrations and funny scenarios provide an interactive and entertaining opportunity for young readers to go on an adventure and practice left and right.
