Madison ★★★★★

The large, simple illustrations and repetitive text made it easy for my little one to start "reading" along after just a few nights. We both crack up every time the bird asks the steam shovel if it's his mother.

Jacob ★★★★★

The baby bird’s frantic search had me laughing out loud, and the way the text builds rhythm makes it a joy to read aloud. My kid now runs around the house yelling “not you!” at everything, which is both hilarious and a little exhausting.

Victoria A. ★★★★☆

My toddler asks for this book every night—the baby bird’s desperate "Are you my mother?" gets her giggling every time. The Dr. Seuss editing keeps the rhymes fun, though I wish the pages were a bit sturdier for little hands.
