Kavi Reads Between the Lines
Kavi the owl reads a story and tilts his head. "The words never say happy or sad — but I can tell! When someone grins and claps, I know they are happy. When their shoulders droop, I know they are sad. I read the clues — what they do, say and see — and I work the feeling out. And I always point to the clue that proves it!"
