This is a counting down story of a mama bird that becomes increasingly overworked trying to keep her seven hungry babies fed.  The story is full of fun read-aloud sounds and the illustrations are humorous, vibrant and cartoonish.  In the end, when mama bird has finally fed the last baby, her rest is foiled by all the babies being hungry again.  This time, she calls on lounging daddy to help out.  I’m planning to read this at story time for kindergarten, first grade and second grade classes.  I expect that they will be well-entertained by the storyline, the sound effects and silly expressions of the characters.
