review 1: By the same author of a Sick Day For Amos McGee which drew me to this book in the first place. This story is about a a toad named Vernon that finds a new friend who is tiny blue bird. Bird is quiet and silent. Vernon shows him around the river and forest and all his favorite things and his friends. Bird says nothing though. This book is about caring and friendship. Shows what a friend does for another friend. Vernon is trying to get the bird to come out of his shell and talk. Its charming and really show friendship. I enjoyed the illustrations as well. They are simple and are outlined in black with bright colors. Overall really pleasing to the eyes and children would really like them.
review 2: The illustrations are wonderfully done, including bright colors an... mored sweet-looking animals. with full page scenes that are gorgeous. Vernon, the frog is out foraging and finds a quiet bird, and the adventure to find a good home for quiet and shy Bird begins. There is a hint about Bird in the opening drawing, shown before the title page, but even my four year old granddaughter said that Bird looked different. She didn’t know how, but caught that something was ‘up’. And it is, there’s a surprise at the end! In the meantime, dear Vernon introduces Bird to some friends and different ideas are tried out until the perfect place is found. Fun book! less
