I love these beginner books the binding is so sturdy on them. The story is so cute and what an adventure these birds have in their quest for a new home. They set out cause the wife decides she just can't stand their old place so off the couple go trying things from a hole in a tree, to a shoe, to a mailbox but all those places are already occupied by a raccoon, to a foot, to a pile of mail!! So the wife finds a beautiful bell tower and says "this is the place to make our nest" and the little hubby bird is at first a little hesitant thinking the place is just too big but she says 'oh no I like this big place" and so they settle and get busy at seeking out items to make their nest and this is where the book gets really funny cause they get things from'horse hair to mattress stuffing to human hair to sweater string and right off the people!! The expressions on the people they take from are just a hoot even my daughter yells "Hey their taking hair from his beard!". And at the end of the day the couple have built themselves one beautiful nest and the hubby bird is so happy he goes out of the bell tower (of course neither knowing it was a bell tower) and he gets up on the very top to sing his little song "I love my home I love my nest in the all the world my nest is best" and while hes whistling away all gleeful he fails to notice the man who comes to ring the bell everyday and all the sudden you just hear "ding dong ding dong ding dong" and of course the mother bird is RIGHT under the bell (cause thats where she built herself the best nest) so she flies out of there like lightening!
