Baby Bird

26 pp. | Candlewick | January, 1998 | Trade ISBN 0-7636-0322-8
(4) PS Dunbar uses rhyme to tell the story of a baby bird who falls out of the nest and narrowly escapes from a squirrel, bee, frog, cat, and dog before flying safely back to the nest. Preschoolers will respond to the slight tension of the story, but the exaggerated cartoon style of the illustrations is unattractive--for example, the bird's beak looks more like wide flabby lips.
