Absurd said Bird
By Tricia Gardella
This book is full of bright colourful pictures that I am sure the little ones will love. Mouse is determined to fly to the moon to get some cheese. He tells the other farm animals if they help him build a plane he will bring them each back some cheese. All the animals think it is a clever idea, well except for bird. Bird thinks it is an absurd idea to build a plane. All the other animals help build the plane, take off does not go well for mouse at all. Bird swoops down to rescue mouse and tells him it is an absurd idea to build a plane to fly to the moon. Bird tells mouse he needs a rocket. Mouse thinks this is a clever idea and all the animals scramble for parts to build the rocket. For Bird this is not an absurd idea and leads the way to collect what they need to build their rocket.

Cute story about Mouse and their adventure to go to the moon. However, while Mouse and the other farm animals are gathering supplies to build a plane Bird is telling them that the plan is “Absurd” but Mouse won’t listen. What happens when Mouse tries to fly the plane to the moon? Can you still be a supportive friend even if you don’t think all of your friends plans are perfect? Find out in this fantastic picture book. The illustrations in this book are out-of-this-world as well. I love the bright colors and the simple drawings.

This is an entertaining book for children. I found it to be quite cute. The story is told in rhymes, which is quite fun and kids like to read with adults. I read this with my granddaughter and she found it kind of cool that mouse wanted to go the moon. She’s a creative dreamer so the book hit home for her. I love the theme of dreaming. Mr. Bird finally came around. This would be a neat addition to childrens libraries.

This book has a great storyline and rhyming words. The illustrations are fantastic and well done. This book definitely demonstrates a team effort to help someone accomplish a goal. As I was reading it to my grandson before bedtime he giggled at the story and liked it. It’s a great easy read for bedtime, naptime or anytime. Definitely recommend this book.
