Little Bird's ABC: 01/09/25

Little

Little Bird's ABC by Piet Grobler (2005) is a picture book with a variety of birds illustrating the different letters of the alphabet. Usually these types of picture books use a different type of bird that starts with the letter. But not this book.

P is for plop of a laid egg

Instead each page picks an oddball word to illustrate the letter. There's plop for p, with a weird chicken laying an egg. And Fffft, a farting bird for f. (Birds can't fart, by the way).

The book is cute and a little unhinged. It's more art than story book. I think it's aimed at adults but I would have totally let my kids read it when they were younger.

Four stars
