I was expecting something in the vein of Midnight Giant and got something completely different but equally brilliant. I'm sad that Hilda lives in the city now, though, as I want to see more adventures with the Woodman.

* I was sent this for free from the publisher in exchange for an honest review *This book is fabulous and it's my first experience reading a book in the Hilda series. I didn't even know this was a series of graphic novels, but I am so glad that there are others out, becuase I definitely want to get them! This one is the third on in the series, but you can definitely start by reading this one as it seems like one entire adventure and each book is focused on another adventure. I have to say this r...

Pearson blends graphic novel with children's picture books in his Hildafolk series. Borrowing heavily from Scandinavian folklore, the world in which Hilda lives is full of subtly mystical creatures and beings. The series centers around a young girl, Hilda, who enjoys independence, solitude, adventures, and the outdoors. In the Bird Parade, Pearson depicts Hilda's move from her family's isolated country home to the city center nearby. Hilda experiences new surroundings, new friends, and a strain

As I make my way through Luke Pearson's "Hilda" graphic novels for kids, I find myself liking each one more than the last. The art is consistently excellent—I like the colors, the clean lines, and how it rewards attention to detail—and the stories keep getting better. This one opens with a scene from Hilda's life in the country, where she used to wander on her own to the edge of the forest to draw, and her mom was fine with it. Now, Hilda and her mom have just moved to the city of Trolberg, and

I love the Hilda series so far! I’m this installment, we see Hilda living in the city, playing with her classmates, and getting lost with a raven.

Hilda and her mom are getting settled in to their new life and home in Trolberg, though Hilda can't roam as she please, she still finds time to get in a little adventure.Confession time: I received this paperback copy of Hilda from Flying Eye Press quite a while ago and it sat on my desk and then on my kitchen table for the longest time ever. I finally brought it back to put in my prize book pile and just opened it up randomly and ended up reading the whole thing. It's short and sweet. Hilda is

I was a little sad that Pearson urbanized the story. AND introduced Hilda to more modern-feeling kids. Although many of the magical elements are still around, including jaded kids brings me to the conclusion that Hilda is an exception in her world. So, instead of being transported to a new world to ME, I find myself looking at Hilda and her view of the world more as anomaly in her world, possibly even viewing things in her world in a different ways than other actors in it.Maybe I'm being overly

Cuteness overload! Luke Pearson's Hilda series is such a joy to follow. I read the iconic Hildafolk years back and then stayed away from the series due to its high price. I was beyond thrilled to get this new book for free. Hilda and the Bird Parade is the cute tale of how Hilda tries to accommodate in her new home. City life is not for Hilda. Even months after she moved to Trolberg with her mother, she misses the enchanted valleys and the eccentric friends of her old home. But as the day of the...

One Sentence Review: Standing entirely on its own (you don't need to have read the sequel to enjoy it) this is a surprisingly touching tale of what it means to be lost in the center of civilization.

started with book #3 because annie doesn’t have #1 or #2. so cute! going to read them all

Cute!

This was amazing. *_*

Re-read 9 July 2020A seriously gorgeous book. Hilda now lives in Trolberg. Her mum is increasingly paranoid about having her wander around town and potentially getting lost, and she's trying to fit in. I love how straight Hilda's moral compass is: even though some of the school kids she fell in with weren't very nice, she still held her own standards, and remained her true self (including saving wildlife, and learning about the hidden beings that inhabit her world).The Bird Parade is probably on...

This is the second Hilda book I've read and I love it even more than the first one. Hilda has moved to the city, and she and her mother are confronted with a strange world full of new fears. Hilda's openness to life and generosity stand in sharp contrast to her new school "friends" as she learns to navigate her changed environment. Magic and myth are still present, though--waiting to be found and celebrated.

This is delightful, like the tv show on Netflix.

Another great Hilda adventure. Having moved to the city Hilda goes to hang out with some kids from school. Their behaviour isn't nice and when it comes to a bird getting hurt Hilda and the group go their separate ways and she stays to help the bird. Leaving the group means she is lost in the city and tries to get home in time to go to the bird parade with her mum. In true Hilda style an adventure ensues with lots of excitement, mythical beasts and kindness. We love these books.If buying a copy t...

Hilda and her mother move to Trolberg, away from their beloved mountains, and Hilda is having trouble adjusting to city life. Lost in the maze of streets, she befriends a raven with amnesia, and the two encounter strange creatures and navigate the dark corners of the city, on their way to the Bird Parade.I loved this 3rd volume! It's so imaginative and colorful. Hilda is adorable and plucky and deliciously weird. Every twist of the plot kept me guessing and wondering, and I loved to see the deve...

Love Hilda and her mom, such a great relationship. I also love the art, vibrant colors and great panel movement. And I so want a thunderbird to be my friend. (Amanda)

I didn't give the book format much thought until now, but I realize that this tall, thin hardcover format is very European; I am most familiar with this size of book from Tintin or Lucky Luke. The author and publisher are British. I think this helps the books to stand out in North America amongst a sea of graphic novels. The subject matter in this entry continues to get more serious, setting this apart from a mere children's book. I think of it as an all-ages graphic series. The characters strug...

I adore the Hilda stories, they are magical and wonderful and so imaginative and adorable.
