Flap Your Wings (Beginner Books(R))

The Baby Bird's Surprise is a heartwarming tale of love, acceptance, and determination.

When a strange egg appears in their nest, Mr.

and Mrs.

Bird kindly take it upon themselves to raise the "baby bird" inside.

But when the egg hatches, they are in for a big surprise - Junior is the oddest-looking baby bird they've ever seen! With big, long jaws full of teeth and an appetite to match, he looks more like a baby alligator than a baby bird.

Despite his unusual appearance, the devoted Birds run themselves ragged feeding Junior until he gets so big, he must leave the nest or it will collapse underneath him.

But how can Junior fly without wings? The dilemma is solved when Junior takes off from a branch overlooking a pond, demonstrating his determination and resilience in the face of adversity.

This delightful story teaches important lessons about acceptance, perseverance, and the unconditional love of family.
