Delightful story about finding the confidence to face a challenge. (

I didn't think this book would appeal particularly to the noisy class 3 who came in yesterday. I was wrong. They went very quiet and listened and looked and then we had a good discussion about what birds fly south and why. The RSPB would have been proud. :-) (

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0763657247, Hardcover)

A little bird waiting in his nest for his mother to bring back food is blown into the sky, nest and all, by a great wind. Will he be able to fly?

Autumn is coming, and George sits in his little nest, not quite ready to learn to fly even though his mom says it is time to head south for the winter. But when a gust of wind swoops George and his nest out of the tree and onto the roof of a car, George is off whether he likes it or not! With his mom following along chirping encouragement, George must gain the confidence to fly before his nest blows away entirely. This charming picture book gently nudges little fledglings everywhere to try out their wings.

▾Library descriptions

George does not feel ready to learn to fly, leave his nest, and go south with the other birds, despite his mother's encouragement, but when a strong autumn wind gets hold of the nest, he may have no choice.
