"Teague proves that a picture can be worth a thousand words--and almost as many laughs." --Publishers Weekly (starred review) "Engaging illustrations and the baby bird's wild ideas will entertain audiences of all ages." --Booklist (starred review) "Funny, feathery finesse." --Kirkus Reviews (starred review) 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 notAuthor: Mark TeaguePublisher: Beach Lane BooksPublished: 09/17/2019Pages: 40Binding Type: HardcoverWeight: 1.00lbsSize: 10.30h x 10.40w x 0.40dISBN: 9781534451285Audience: Ages 4-8Review Citation(s): Publishers Weekly 06/03/2019Kirkus Reviews 07/01/2019 pg. 142Booklist 07/01/2019 pg. 73School Library Journal 09/01/2019 pg. 108Bulletin of Ctr for Child Bks 10/01/2019Horn Book Magazine 11/01/2019 pg. 78Hornbook Guide to Children 07/01/2019 - Superior,Well Above AverageAbout the AuthorMark Teague is an award-winning author and illustrator whose books include Fly!, King Kong's Cousin, We Are Going to Be Pals!, and You Are Not Sleepy!.
