Boo Hoo Bird

a surprise ending prevails in this sweet storybook

My son absolutley loves this book. We read it quiet often. He loves how all the animal friends help eachother and the silly twist at the end!

My grandchildren ages three and five absolutely love this book and also Grumpy Bird by the same author. They ask for them to be read again and again.

After becoming completely smitten with Grumpy Bird, our family was so delighted to follow Bird on a new adventure with his darling band of forest friends. The characters are whimsical indeed, but with just the right dose of reality: not all days are good, and heads sometimes do get bumped. Thankfully, friendship (and distraction by good friends) is the best medicine! Bird is a wonderful preschool anti-hero -- loveable in his orneriness, because we ALL have those moments. If you are new to Tankard's Bird, I'd definitely start with Grumpy Bird -- it's hard to beat. But for the seasoned Bird veteran, Boo Hoo bird is a welcome sequel.

This is the second book by Tankard in this series. It is fantastic. The first book Grumpy Bird was great also. In this story Bird is playing catch with Raccoon and gets bonked on the head. All of Bird's friends try to make it better by different means. A kiss, a hug, a cookie, a game and a band-aid all do not help. All of Bird's friends, Beaver, Raccoon, Sheep, Beaver and Fox cry because they cannot help bird. Tankard tells simple stories with great illustrations that will teach children great messages. His books are ones I share with my children and think they are great for children of all ages.

Bird and Racoon were playing a game catch when Bird got bonked in the head with the ball. It hurt, so of course he started to cry. Racoon tried to make Bird feel better but Bird just kept on crying. Other friends tried to help but nothing seemed to help. We've all known and probably been the Boo Hoo Bird at some time in our lives. Long after the hurt stops the tears just keep rolling. Boo Hoo Bird is a good story to have around in case of an attack of the Boo Hoos.
