There Is a Bird on Your Head

There Is a Bird on Your Head by Mo Willems is the winner of the 2008 Theodor Seuss Geisel Award. I enjoyed this sweet, simple book very much. Gerald is an elephant with a problem. There is a bird on his head. Soon, there are two birds, a nest, and three baby birds. His best friend, Piggie, is there to give advice and offer moral support, and eventually he advises his friend to ask the birds to go somewhere else. This works. The birds move to Piggie’s head. The illustrations are simple with few colors and the large font makes the text easy to read. This is the third of a series of Elephant and Piggie books.
