About this Story
"Adventure, Fun, Learning"
đżđŠ Mission Impossible: Bird Editionâbut the squadâs IQ plummets with every âShh!â Four âstealth expertsâ (read: three stooges in matching berets + one tiny chaos gremlin) use 0% strategy, 200% shushing to catch The Most Fabulous Bird Everâą. Spoiler: 99% of their plans involve crashing into bushes đłđ„. The fourth kid? Literally just waves Cheerios.
Chris Haughtonâs art? A silent comedy masterpiece. Midnight blues and neon foliage make the bird look like BeyoncĂ© at Coachella, while the âplannersâ pratfall in a slapstick fugue state. Peep the endpapersâblueprints for disaster (Plan A: Tripping. Plan B: Panic).
Storytime hack: Have kids whisper âShh!â 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 finaleâs chaotic conga line đđș.
Adults, youâll howl at the leaderâs âPlan C: Yelling âPLAN Câ repeatedlyâ (mood: every Zoom call) and the âemo raccoonâ vibes when the bird outsmarts them. Steal the tiny heroâs catchphrase: âđđ” HELLO BIRB!â for passive-aggressive Slack messages.
