Mouse is an adventurer and he wants to go to the moon, he has heard it is made of cheese and wants to go and get some.
Mouse has an idea and he asks the other animals on the farm where he lives to help him, he promises them some moon cheese if they will help him to build an aeroplane!
So they all band together to help Mouse, but Bird thinks that Mouse’s plan is absurd, but who will be right, Mouse or Bird? This is a charming story of imagination, determination and perseverance for all ages, while also teaching about teamwork and kindness all at the same time.

I have started to pick up more books by this author because my kids love them! This one has beautifully vivid pictures for the kiddos, and I feel that it adds more to the story. My youngest is 8 which is still in the target audience range. He loved it because he likes building things even when others don’t believe it will work. The rhyming throughout the entire story was really catchy as well! It’s a simple yet incredible book on determination, teamwork, and embracing your own unique thought process. This would be an amazing addition to your classroom, daycare, and even at home.

What a fun little book for kids! My girls loved it! They have requested to read it several times. Every time they read it out loud they get even sillier with the rhymes. The story line is amazing and if you dream it you can do it. Absolutely wonderful!

Absolutely love Absurd…. Tricia Gardella has quickly become one of my favorite children’s book authors. Her work is always so fun and with vibrant illustrations and easy rhyming for all ages of reading. This book was a perfect example of teamwork and even overcoming limitations. Birds and planes can only go so high. But solutions are found a new plan is made together.
What a neat little book. This book is for ages 3-8. The illustrations are remarkable, and the rhythming is as cute as can be. This book is based on farm animals and can teach little ones to share and help each other out with projects.

I really love the message of this book. How the mouse never gave up to try and reach his goals. Also I really enjoyed that the book has rhyming words. It made the storytelling not only flow but so much fun to read. The artwork was very cute and had a lot of Vivid colors, which really caught my little ones eyes. They enjoyed the story immensely. They liked seeing and naming the animals and making their sounds. I look forward to reading more or the Adventure of the Mouse Traveler.

This is a fun and entertaining read. I enjoyed the story and the characters. It has some nice rhyming and I like the name of the farm. The pages are filled with colorful illustrations that would keep any child captivated. I was surprised at the ending and wish mouse all the luck at grabbing some cheese.
This would be a good book to read to a younger child or a quick read for an older reader.

Cute book about a mouse who wants to build a plane so he can fly to the moon to get cheese for he and his barnyard friends. The other animals, except for bird, help him build the plane. Bird tells mouse over and over that his idea is absurd. After the failed flight to the moon bird tells us why he said the plan was absurd. I felt this book lacked an ending.

This was super cute kids’ book, my kids really loved the pictures in it, which were very well done and illustrated. The pictures went very well with this story and flowed very good together. It was super easy to read that even my 7-year-old was able to read it. its all about a mouse that wants to fly, but the bord thinks he’s crazy and tells the mouse his idea is “absurd”. But in the end, everyone wants to help, it was a team effort to see if they can bring the mouses ide to reality. This was a super enjoyable read.

Mouse wants to go to the moon, because he believes it is made of cheese. Most of his friends seem to be supportive of his plan to build an airplane to fly to the moon, and ask him questions about his planned trip. That is, other than, Bird. Bird says that the whole plan is absurd and that it won’t work. Mouse thinks he is wrong, and decides to try it anyway. When his initial plan doesn’t work, Bird explains why he had said the plan was absurd to begin with. The story is cute, with rhyming and a fun and silly storyline. The illustrations are colorful and eye-catching, which is great for a younger audience.

Mouse wants to fly to the moon and bring back the cheese. Full of plans of how to get there, the only hitch is the Bird who constantly tells him his idea is absurd. Will his plan work?
This was a fun story. I liked that Mouse had a definitive idea of what he wanted to do but at the same time Bird had a logical idea of why this would not work. Great story for kids to interact with.

Mouse decides he wants to prove the moon is made of cheese so he recruits all the barn animals to help him with his plan to get there. He promises to bring back cheese for anyone who helps him. Meanwhile bird is trying to tell mouse that his plan just isn’t going to work. Mouse doesn’t find out why until after his plan fails. Then bird explains and decides to help him with his next plan. Great lesson in not giving up after failing on your first attempt. Great illustrations as well.

I am always looking for cute books to contribute to my granddaughter’s library. This is a cute one that I think she will enjoy. Her Mom can read it to her now and when she gets a little older she can read it for herself. The picture’s are pretty and she will enjoy them.

“ABSURD.” SAID BIRD by Tricia Gardella is such a fun little story book that my grandchildren just adored. The pictures are very cute, colourful, and engaging- which made the fun little adventure come to life.
What happens when mouse plans to fly to the moon? He persuades his barnyard friends to help him build an airplane to fly there. Now they just have to find the parts and assemble it. Easy, right? And Bird thinks it’s absurd. And so…. the adventure begins-
An engaging, fun, imaginative, and enjoyable children’s picture book.
Looking forward to whatever Tricia Gardella brings us next.
Highly recommended.
Happy Reading!

Absurd, Said Bird was a very well illustrated book. I loved the full color designs of all the animals working together to help mouse reach the moon to get some cheese, despite what bird said, which he of course was going to share with everyone. It was a cute little story. What I didn’t enjoy as much was what seemed like a very abrupt ending. It felt unfinished, once mouse failed, they were running to the scrap heap to try again, and bam- ended. I felt like maybe there could be more to the story?

Cute illustrations, funny subject line. Who heard of a mouse trying to go to the moon for cheese? Kids will enjoy this book, adults however will find it just as the bird says, ABSURD. But it is a fun and whimsical little tale for kids.

This is a cute story about a determined little mouse. It has bright, colorful pictures. All of the barn animals are clearly mouse’s friends. One doubts his plans though. We see that despite bird doubting his plan, bird still helps mouse with his dream. This is a great lesson. We also see mouse not give up and what it means to help your friends. Great little story.

The art and story in this book are just adorable. Mouse is so cute with the little bandaids after the flying attempt. I love that mouse is trying to get to the moon to get cheese because, honestly what kid doesn’t think the moon is made of cheese growing up?! All the animals pitch in and help get parts for the craft. I chuckled in the end when bird and mouse both realize they need to make a rocket.
