Baby Bird was a very curious, confident and stubborn little chick who decided one day to disobey her mother's directions to stay in the nest while Mother Bird was away hunting for food. Baby Bird soon learns that her flying skills are not developed enough to keep her out of trouble. This delightful tale is one that all children can relate to as they grapple with the desire to be independent young learners while understanding the importance of heeding the wise advice of the adult caregivers in their lives. Whimsical illustrations, with a hidden ladybug in each, engage both young and senior readers.
