A newly hatched baby bird leaves its nest to search for its mother. The baby bird finds a kitten, a hen, a dog, a cow, and various machines until a "Snort" takes the lost bird back to its nest...where it finally meets its mother.
A classic beginning-to-read book great for children who are learning to read (or for parents to read aloud).

Maybe I'm just too sensitive, but this book rubs me the wrong way. Having an adopted sister and knowing many adoptive families, the emphasis that you should look like your parents for them to be your parents is a little much. The cow tells the bird, "How could I be your mother?" Well, why can't you be his mother? I have a friend whose father is black and mother is white and when her parents split, she spent the rest of her childhood listening to people question whether or not she was "really" her mother's daughter. Sometimes even biological families don't look alike.
