Free, uninhibited, naughty toddler behaviour is
perfectly depicted on every page with baby birds as the characters. The
expressions on their faces speak volumes. The illustrations show more than the
story the text tells.
Baby owl has raided the contents of kitchen drawer.
With two wooden spoons hitting against an upturned pot, he is making music.
Along comes a friend who wants to join in. Two pot lids become cymbals
crashing. A third bird appears. He chooses a bowl and a ladle. Add two more
baby birds, two spatulas and a pie dish, plus a colander and a large fork, and
it becomes a parade of five.
The mischievous friends are having the time of
their lives. But the noise is too much for Mama Owl. She needs to create a distraction.
It doesn’t last long.
