Mr. Staccato

Bert is a little nervous about making the jump of his branch. He has several false starts before he finds the courage to make the leap. It's a simple story with a straightforward message of being brave with some positive encouragement from friends.

Cute, humorous book with a fun twist at the end!

The book has an fun and unexpected twist, but fell a little flat for me. Not a huge storyline, but I liked that part of the story was solely illustrations showing what was happening.
