Oh, hello gorgeous!

Wordy Birdy is a colorful bird who absolutely LOVES to talk! And talk and talk and talk AND talk!
But will an adventure with her friends in the deep, dark woods finally teach Wordy Birdy to listen as well?

Great read aloud! ( )

Fun little morality tale with eye-catching colors. ( )

This book is about Wordy Birdy, who loves to talk because she has a lot to say. She says things like "I like spaghetti and unicorns, and library books, and polka dots and standing on my head..." All of the talking means she's not a very good listener. This bothers her friends and leads her into a dangerous situation. I think this book is a fun read at any point in the school year and allows students to learn about finding their voice but also learning to be good listeners.
