Review by Publisher's Weekly Review
Don Freeman's 1957 tale, Fly High, Fly Low, set against the foggy backdrop of San Francisco, charts the city life of Sid and Midge, two pigeons who make their home in the "B" of the Bay Hotel sign. When the building is demolished, Sid frantically searches for his mate and their two eggs. The creator of Corduroy gives the city a charming colored-pencil tribute with portraits of glowing sunsets, the Golden Gate Bridge spanning the shimmering bay and a trolley car cresting a hill.

Review by Horn Book Review
This Caldecott Honor book tells the story of Sid and Midge, a San Francisco pigeon and dove who set up housekeeping in the letter B of the Bay Hotel's sign. Panoramic views of the city alternate with pigeon's-eye perspectives in this tale of the complications that arise when the sign, with its egg-filled nest, is dismantled and moved. (c) Copyright 2010.
