Written and Illustrated by Quintin Blake
As Angela sets off to the market she finds all sorts of things littered about the ground along her path. The storm from the night before has left leaves and fallen branches scattered all over. Angela also spies a baby bird amongst the debris. She knows at once she must take care of the bird! Now, she must have been smitten at once, because this bird gets the most special treatment. Only the best foods, extra wrappings to keep him safe and warm, and the “nests” she selects are picked with so much thought. It’s almost as if she thinks he is a human and not a bird…. A fun short story, full of Quintin Blake’s style art. The vibrant colors and detailed expressions on all of the characters show the readers what they are thinking and feeling.
