My daughters love this...
My daughters love this book, and after reading it to them countless times, I know the reason that it is a classic in the picture book genre. The story is simple but powerful. A baby bird cracks open its egg, at the moment when his mom has gone out to find food. The baby bird flaps and falls out of its nest, and sets off on a mission to find his mother. He asks a cat, a dog, a cow, and even starts asking boats and planes, all with no success. He finally asks snort (a power shovel) and the machine lifts the bird high in the air. The baby realizes that the snort is not his mother, either, and as he starts to panic, the snort deposits him safely back in the nest. Fortunately, a bird arrives at that moment as well, and he finally finds his mother. The story is wonderful for read alouds. The reader can ask her audience the same question the baby bird asks everyone he meets - is that his mother? Also, children can identify all the animals and vehicles, and have fun making snort noises for the powerful machine. I love listening to my younger daughter deliver a deep snort sound. The repetitive text and the seeking plot create a story that allows even very young readers to join in the reading. Illustrations are simple but endearing, and the expressions on the baby bird's face bring him to life and inspire sympathy in the reader. A wonderful book, that was popular back when I was a child, and is still drawing eager young readers today.

    One of my favorites as a kid (I'm now 63). I used to love the way my Dad said "SNORT"...

    I have this book to my student for a birthday gift. It was loved immediately since it is a favorite read aloud in our class.

    A baby bird hatches while his mother is away and starts asking everyone and everything if they are his mother. In the end he finds his mother. A very simple book to read to small children they would like the ryming and the story of mystery if he will ever find his mom.

    An adorable book at a GREAT price!
    This is one of my 4 year old daughter's favorite books. I've been reading it to her since she was 1. I had the little board book. It's still good, however from reading it sooo much (even though we have HUNDREDS of other books!), it was kind of worn. So I figured for the price of a hard covered copy, I couldn't go wrong. I was right! It has more pages, (72) than the board book which is always a plus. Thanks again Walmart for your wonderful products and prices as always! Andrea
