Shh! We have a Plan

Shh! We have a Plan

About this Story

"Adventure, Fun, Learning"

🌿🐩 Mission Impossible: Bird Edition—but the squad’s IQ plummets with every “Shh!” Four “stealth experts” (read: three stooges in matching berets + one tiny chaos gremlin) use 0% strategy, 200% shushing to catch The Most Fabulous Bird Everℱ. Spoiler: 99% of their plans involve crashing into bushes đŸŒłđŸ’„. The fourth kid? Literally just waves Cheerios.

Chris Haughton’s art? A silent comedy masterpiece. Midnight blues and neon foliage make the bird look like BeyoncĂ© at Coachella, while the “planners” pratfall in a slapstick fugue state. Peep the endpapers—blueprints for disaster (Plan A: Tripping. Plan B: Panic).

Storytime hack: Have kids whisper “Shh!” until they collapse giggling. Pair with They All Saw a Cat (existential birdwatching) or Sam and Dave Dig a Hole (disaster gang solidarity). Bonus: Craft bird masks and reenact the finale’s chaotic conga line 🎭đŸ•ș.

Adults, you’ll howl at the leader’s “Plan C: Yelling ‘PLAN C’ repeatedly” (mood: every Zoom call) and the ”emo raccoon” vibes when the bird outsmarts them. Steal the tiny hero’s catchphrase: â€œđŸ‘‹đŸŽ” HELLO BIRB!” for passive-aggressive Slack messages.
