Review
Little Bird and his Dad spend lots of time flying around together. When Dad loses a wriggly worm that he is transporting back to their nest for lunch, a blasphemous word flies out of his mouth. Little Bird, who loves learning new words, starts using this word around his friends who are appalled by his language. Their feelings are hurt. How will this all be rectified? Will Little Bird learn a lesson about certain words that are not appropriate for him to use? The illustrations are heartwarming, expressive, and amusing. This is a good choice for parents who are trying to teach their little ones about words that they should avoid and, perhaps more importantly, the word to use when one wishes to make amends.
Overall Book Score: very good
