Wordy Birdy
I love this book! It has great pictures, a funny story, woodland animals, and a lesson! It's colorful and exciting, and no one's friends abandon them to be eaten by bears even if they talk too much - like really, really too much - and never listen. You should probably read it and then read it again and then read it out loud to someone and then read it out loud to someone else. It's great!
Description
Meet Wordy Birdy, a very chatty bird who talks WAY more than she listens! A hilarious story from Tammi Sauer, beloved author of Nugget & Fang, Chicken Dance, and Mary Had a Little Glam.
Wordy Birdy LOVES to talk. “Hello, sunrise. Hello, pink sky. Hello, orange sky!” But does she love to listen? NOPE. One day, while she’s walking through the forest, her gift of the gab gets her into hot water: “That’s a pretty tree and that’s a pretty tree and that’s a pretty danger sign and that’s a pretty tree. . . .” Will this inattentive bird walk right into danger? Will her faraway thoughts lead her along a path of doom? It’s up to her long-suffering, heard-it-all-before pals Squirrel, Raccoon, and Rabbit to save their distracted friend.
Author Tammi Sauer will have kids and their parents in stitches with this funny, fast-paced, lovable caper about the importance of paying attention—and the importance of standing by your friends through thick and thin.
And look for the super-silly sequel, Wordy Birdy Meets Mr. Cougarpants!
