Baby bird must learn to fly, but he has other ideas.
In a tree, Mama bird believes it's time for Baby bird to fly and join the flock's migration. But Baby bird has whimsical alternatives—like hot air balloons or cars. Can he avoid flapping his wings forever? This wordless picture book captures the humor and determination of a young bird facing his first flight.
It’s a big day up in the tree that Mama bird shares with her baby. Mama bird thinks Baby bird is finally ready to leave the nest and learn to fly so he can migrate south with the rest of their flock. But Baby bird isn’t so sure. Can’t his mother keep bringing him worms in their nest? Can’t he migrate in a hot air balloon instead? Or perhaps a car? This silly wordless picture book will keep young readers giggling as Baby bird figures out that he must flap his wings and learn to fly—whether he likes it or not!
