About This Book

Waking up one morning, a young bird sees its mother catch a worm and decides to try to catch one too, but the bird soon learns that catching a worm isn't as easy as it looks.

Our Review

This charming picture book follows a young bird's first attempt to catch a worm after watching its mother succeed effortlessly. Through simple, engaging storytelling, children witness the fledgling's persistence as it encounters the challenges of this new skill. The narrative beautifully captures the universal experience of learning through trial and error, making it highly relatable for preschoolers. Young readers will connect with the bird's journey from observation to attempted mastery.

What sets this story apart is its gentle portrayal of the learning process without overt moralizing. The illustrations likely complement the text by showing the bird's various failed attempts with humor and warmth. This book particularly resonates with children who are developing their own coordination skills or facing new challenges. Parents will appreciate how it naturally encourages perseverance and celebrates small steps toward independence in a way that feels authentic to early childhood experiences.
