In these humorous, well-told, and gently moral tales, Doctor Bird, a clever, "upfull" (optimistic) hummingbird in top hat and flowing tails, convinces Mongoose to stop stealing (for a while); helps Mouse find food and shelter after a storm; and teaches Owl to make peace with being Owl. Wolff's lively illustrations give all the animals lots of personality.
