This is the story of Bobby - the littlest hero in a very big war. Bobby is a tiny canary. His best friend is Jack, a soldier in one of the tunnelling companies of the Royal Engineers. Together they go deep into the tunnels under no-man's-land. Jack's job is to dig, while Bobby's job is to warn the men to get out quickly when there's dangerous gas. Bobby's warnings save the tunnellers' lives again and again. But Jack worries that it's a hard life for a little bird. Will Bobby ever be free to fly again? Glyn Harper and Jenny Cooper are the award-winning creators of bestselling picture books about the First World War- Le Quesnoy, Jim's Letters, Roly, the Anzac Donkey and Gladys Goes to War.

Glyn tells the story simply and well. He does a good job of portraying the dangerous and unpleasant conditions without making it too graphic for its young target market. Jenny's illustrations are superb. Bobby provides a bright splash of colour on each page with Jack's fair hair being a more subdued echo of Bobby's plumage. Jack's facial expressions, along with those of the other men, speak of apprehension, fear, melancholy and wistfulness along with times of delight and joy. Adding to the story, the final page gives more information about the tunnellers of World War I. Using stories of animals to tell young children about war is a great way of making the subject accessible and interesting for children and Glyn and Jenny are experts. ( )
