Personal/Teaching Connections:
This would be a great book for early childhood teachers. Students could compare and contrast the various animals that the bird met to baby bird’s mother. Another activity would be to create a family tree in order for the children to tell about themselves and their family. Other books by P.D. Eastman are Go Dog Go and the Best Nest.
