Mama bird thinks it's time for Baby bird's first flight, but Baby bird
has other ideas in this humorous wordless picture book from New York
Times bestselling author-illustrator Mark Teague.
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!
