A young starling chooses to read books when his cousins are learning to fly, and the knowledge he acquires comes in handy when a hurricane threatens the flock's migration.

Relates how Calvin the starling's book knowledge and new glasses aid him during a perilous adventure. A los estorninos les encanta reunirse para ver el mundo a vista de pájaro, pero Calvin no es como el resto de la bandada. Es fácil de comprender por qué: cunaod abre un libro, pierde el mundo de vista.
