Summary from Piccadilly Press
The Littlest Bird has to share the nest with all her brothers and
sisters and it’s a real squeeze. So she packs up her slippers and
toothbrush and things, and looks for another home. She finds a lovely
large nest which seems to be empty – apart, that is, from one very large
egg . . .
Nayuleska's thoughts
I have to
stress how awesomely cute this book is! It's not just the story, where every
reader who lives in a big family or a small home can appreciate Littlest Bird's
feeling squished in the nest and how what she thought she wanted wasn't as
great as it seemed, and the warm homecoming she received that showed she was
dearly loved. The illustrations played a huge role!
I loved the cute shape of Littlest bird
and co. I wanted to stroke the surprise creature's round tummy. It wasn't just
Littlest Bird, it was the creatures who lived wherever she went. The bugs
looked sweet, and are really interested in what is happening in the scene. I
liked the caterpillar who was trying to become a butterfly, I liked how the
creatures pulled leaves over themselves when they went to sleep, and how one
snuggled up with Littlest Bird. Oh, I loved all of Littlest Bird's possessions,
how she took them with her and spread them out in her temporary home. One of
the scene's when she is flying is cute because she is a small speck of green
with a splash of orange for her bag. This book provides an abundance of aww
moments!
