"What Bird Heard" encourages creativity, problem-solving, and exploration. I recommend this book to children 3-8.
In Book 2 of this Traveler Series, Mouse and Bird are busy at work resolving Bird’s Book 1 mistake-- trying to fly an airplane to the moon. Everyone knows it takes a rocket. But is there anything else Mouse and Bird need to consider? In this transitional book, we learn how and if Mouse will be able to fulfill his lifelong dream of traveling.
What Bird Heard, book two in the "Traveler" series, picks up where its predecessor left off - trying to figure out how to get Mouse to the moon.Â
We all have aspirations in life and reasons behind life choices/goals. Mouse's reasoning for wanting to visit the moon is simple; he's looking for cheese. Oh yes, this tiny rodent hasn't gotten the memo that the moon isn't made of cheese.Â
The farm animals band together and use their resources from the scrap heap to construct a rocket. Their design was quite good based on the materials they had. The core was a soda code, and the base was from a can of tuna. The top, a funnel.
Construction, manufacturing, engineering, and space travel involve problem-solving. In the case of Bird and Mouse's rocket, they need fuel. What Bird Heard teaches children to work as a team to brainstorm ideas. Why? Because teamwork makes the dream work, of course.Â
When a creator's design doesn't go as planned, it's essential to understand that alternative solutions must be considered and utilized. Good lessons to pass on to young minds!
Through talking to his friends, Mouse realized that the location was the issue; his goal was to see the world. Earth is a vast land with countless sights to explore. A trip to a library opened Mouse's eyes to the wondrous world around him and made him realize they were so much to see, touch, taste, and experience here on Earth. Maybe one day the rodent will make it to the moon, but for now, he's content to explore the planet he calls home.Â
What Bird Heard had a couple of pages where the text overlapped the background; most of the text was clear. The illustrations were fantastic, like in "ABSURD," SAID BIRD (Traveler Series Book 1)."
What Bird Heard encourages creativity, problem-solving, and exploration. I recommend this book to children 3-8.

I've been constructing reviews for over a decade and don't plan on stopping anytime soon. Most of the reviews will be featured on my blog (Kam's Place), Pinterest, Instagram, Goodreads, and X (formerly Twitter.) Don't forget to tip your waitress! :D
