About the author

David Kirk is the creator of children's books that follow the character Miss Spider. Before writing books, he made colorful toys that were sold in hand-painted boxes. He was urged to write children's books when his toys caught the interest of a book packager. It wasn't difficult to figure out what he would use as characters in his stories: his daughter, Violet, had a liking for bugs.

According to my 5 year old grand daughter “This book cracks me up.”

[Rosa Cline · Rating 4 out of 5]

Beautifully written simple story by Mr Kirk. Set in rhythmic rhyme and one line per page with beautiful illustrations talks about a baby bird setting out on his own to find a snack. And how Momma bird is happy for him in the end and sings loud enough for the entire garden to hear. Children can feel how proud Little Biddle Bird was of himself.

This is a great early reader. My daughter really enjoyed reading this although some words are more complicated. A fun adventure for a baby bird when his mother leaves him alone. He gets the chance to explore his independence and learns lessons along the way.

Lia's favorite diaper changing book...especially the animals on the inside front cover!

[Gail · Rating 3 out of 5]

I like the illustrations in this book and would consider buying it to cut the pages out and frame them for nursery. The story is fine, though perhaps a bit too simplistic for my 3.5 year old.

[Dina · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is graphically simple, as the well the sweet story. It's a simple cute book that my three year old loved.

It was fun to just pick up this book and read today. It was one of my teen daughter's favorite books when she was a toddler. Just enjoying the memories.

In gentle rhyme, the little bird feeding is well illustrated.
