There Is a Bird on Your Head!by Mo Willems
What would you do if you had a bird on your head? You probably wouldn’t like. This is the dilemma faced by the elephant in the story There Is a Bird on Your Head by Mo Willems. The elephant’s friend, Piggie, tries to help out by telling him he actually has two birds on his head. What are friends for? I enjoyed the humor of his book and the illustrations that were simplistic in nature but made a tremendous impact without distracting background influences. I also liked this book because of its easy repetitive text for early readers and direct message of just asking for what you want, which goes with the adage, “You don’t know unless you ask.” This will hopefully encourage young reader to speak up for themselves. If you like this book, may I also suggest, Don’t Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus! It’s just as funny:o)
