One rebellious little bird takes a risk.. and then everything changes. Good one!
Try something new, be different, make a little change of action that might inspire others. These are the creatively punny lessons in this book about shaking up the routine.
Age: Preschool-Kindergarten
Wasn't this adorable and silly? This book is a prime example of illustrations, text, and language perfectly complimenting each other. Yes, we've heard the "being yourself" theme over and over again in picture books (not like that's a bad thing for kids to hear over and over again). But this book deserves elevation for its read-aloud-ability and distinct personalities found in each of these birds.

When little brown bird decides to say "froodle" instead of "peep," the neighborhood changes forever.
This book is wonderful for reminding us that our outside appearance doesn't dictate who we are and that we mustn't allow others to decide who we are, either. There is always room for change, and often that is a very good thing. Be yourself and let your differences show!
Oh, this one in going to be a blast to read-aloud. I am planning on pairing it with STEPHANIE'S PONYTAIL.

Unique illustrations and an excellent tale about staying true to yourself; fits into a bullying theme.

My new favorite picture book! In a neighborhood where every animal makes the noise they're "supposed" to, a little brown bird gets tired of the same old, same old, and decides to make a noise that's not her usual quiet "peep". You can imagine what happens next, but the depictions of rebellion, disagreement, peer pressure, and the ultimate gleeful resolution are deftly handled so the story is charming rather than didactic.The four main birds - little brown bird, white dove, red cardinal, and black crow - have very distinct personalities that children and adults will recognize in the human world. This would make a great read-aloud (especially with a reader who can do all the different voices, and has the ability to coo and sing a bit of scat) or even an elementary school class play. Alternately, it would make an excellent graduation gift for any creative person who should be encouraged to go off into the world embracing their own unique style.
