review 1: "Four friends creep through the woods, and what do they spot? An exquisite bird high in a tree! 'Hello birdie,' waves one. 'Shh! We have a plan,' hush the others. They stealthily make their advance, nets in the air. Ready one, ready two, ready three, and go! But as one comically foiled plan follows another, it soon becomes clear that their quiet, observant companion, hand outstretched, has a far better idea. Award-winning author-illustrator Chris Haughton is back with another simple, satisfying story whose visual humor plays out in boldly graphic, vibrantly colorful illustrations."-- Provided by publisher.
review 2: Fantastic use of color and a minimal, repetitive text. It proceeds in shades of blue, purple, and black, except for the bright bird that the four c
... moreharacters follow. A gentle beam of blue light shines down each time the bird is pictured, and the four figures repeat their sneak attack on the bird, comically unsuccessful each time. The littlest one takes no part except for his repeated, "hello, birdie." Great pacing and page turns, with a fun twist as the tables are turned and the hunt abandoned. Until, "Look! A squirrel" (and the endpapers nicely mirror the story - first birds, then squirrels). Delightful. less

Quirky, fun and something both child and adult will enjoy. Another winner by Haughton!
