About a baby bird going to sleep without all the noise of the woods (  )kwalk3 | Apr 23, 2009 |   This book is good for children in kindergarten. After the beebee bird makes noise while the others sleep, they do the same to him. Then the bird realizes it's not nice to make noise at night. Just a fun book for children to read. KristinWhite | Apr 8, 2009 | Age appropriatness: primary This book is a good example of fantasy because it is a story about zoo animals who did not get any sleep because of a new bird so they devise a plan to keep the bird up all day. The media in this book is pencil ( )mmandecka | Nov 23, 2008 | This book is a good example of fantasy because the reader believes that all the animals can talk to one another and problem solve together to get the bird quiet but in reality animals do not talk to one another like that. Age appropriate: primary. Media: water colors. ( )sghods05 | Nov 10, 2008 | This book is a fair example of fantasy. It takes place in the zoo which is a realistic location, but then it has main characters that are the zoo animals and they talk to each other. The plot has an engaging group vs. person conflict because all the zoo animals are kept awake by the one singing Beebee bird. It resolves by all of the animals working together to teach the bird how things are done at the zoo.

Amazon.com (ISBN 0060517840, Paperback)After a long, hard day of howling, roaring, squawking, and hissing, the animals in the zoo are ready for a good night's sleep. Silence settles over the zoo, until... "Beebeebobbibobbi beebeebobbibobbi"!
"What," said the elephant, "is THAT?""That" turns out to be the newest addition to the zoo, a tiny but vocal baby beebee bird. Deaf to the pleas of the lion, the giraffe, and all the other animals, the baby beebee bird burbles happily on. "I've slept all day and now it's time for me to SING." Morning finds a lot of very tired critters, until the lion comes up with a plan to teach the vociferous bird that "Nighttime is really best for sleeping... especially for very little birds." Diane Redfield Massie's bedtime story, originally published in 1963, has been reissued in a larger format, with all-new full-color illustrations by award-winning illustrator (and author) Steven Kellogg, whose A-Hunting We Will Go uses a similar cast of goofy, expressive animals to ease children into sleepy-time mode. Pages of The Baby Beebee Bird are cluttered with a delightful menagerie of bleary-eyed bears, snoring snakes, and exhausted eagles. This updated edition of an old favorite is sure to be a hit with a whole new generation of readers.
