Book Review
the fox on the back cover looks a bit evil so put me off wanting to try it
I thought that the story looked too scary for me. I found the pages had too many words on them and it was too much to read. I was a bit worried with the picture with the barbed wire on them and the fox on the back cover looks a bit evil so put me off wanting to try it.
We have tried reading some to him and he did like the names that Jordie had made for the birds and perhaps when he’d a little more mature he will be able to manage it.
About the Book
Life can be tough when you’re a bird, especially for Beaky, Herman and Pidge. With the young jackdaw’s twisted beak, the crow’s broken wing and the pigeon’s fear of flying, survival seems impossible. Until, that is, they band together.
The trio set out into the wild, leaving the city far behind. But danger lurks at every turn… Will the three birds ever find a place they can call home?
