This book was so precious. I love birds so adding that parenting aspect to a book about birds was very neat. My kids really enjoyed the story and the illustrations. Thank you for approving!

Nice illustrations. A story about a mama and papa bird and their surprise egg

I liked the art and the story was good. I'm not sure if I like the whole "I don't know what an egg is and how it got there but I'll look after it, coz why not" stance. However, I would still recommend it.

A great story about mama and papa bird and their new born.......

A good story to teach kids how bird life or in general how life goes by. A couple have a kid, they nurture him, give him proper traits. And when kid is capable enough to survive on his own he would leave parents and venture into the world.

Complexity was explained with simplicity of bird couple. Wonderful book

This adorable book tells the story of mama and papa bird as they are surprised by having their first baby bird. Sure to delight, children can follow the story from egg to baby bird's flight. It's wonderfully illustrated and a great book to add to the library's picture book or home collection.

This story was so cute! My two year old and my eight year old both enjoyed it. The illustrations were beautiful and so was the story.

A most endearing story of the journey from egg to chick and the importance of families in nurturing and educating their offspring. The relationship between the baby bird and his parents is just charming. Mamabird teaches him to tweet and how to fly and Papa bird teaches him how to find food. Some of the text rhymes which makes the book more special. Children will find the story easy to follow, especially with the addition of stunning illustrations which really bring the book to life. A lovely, gentle read with a message about the importance of family , caring for each other and the circle of life.

I would give this 1 star but the illustrations are nice. The story on the other hand, is horrific. First, the birds would know they're about to lay an egg. Second, they'd know where it comes from. Third, no one, ever, talks like that. I have no idea why ANYONE would give this book an award. I was totally disappointed.

This heartwarming story delved into such themes as birth, independence, and cooperation, with insightful charm!

A great story about a surprise gift for two birds. Very cute.

Cute book. Shows how Mamma and Daddy birds take care of their babies. Not much different then how human parents take care of human babies. The illustrations are very well done in the book. It was a pleasure to read this book and the kids loved it.

I received a free copy of the book from Adnaw Publishing via Netgalley in exchange for my honest review.

Mama Bird Papa Bird is a children’s book by Wanda Obermeier. It is about a family of birds and how they have come to be. One day, Mama bird realizes there is a baby in her belly. Both Mama and Papa bird are thrilled as they prepare for their baby to be born. Once the Baby is born, Mama and Papa must take the time to teach the Baby how to live and fly as he grows older. Baby struggles to fly at first but eventually he understands that with practice, he will someday be able to fly on his own. This book conveys a message that promotes life and teaches young kids how important birth actually is.

Mama Bird Papa Bird is a cozy and fun picture book that kids will enjoy. There are some great components to this book. I think kids will be drawn to the illustrations which are created and colored beautifully. There is a great, informative lesson that comes from this book and teaches kids about life and how important it is. It attempts to explain how people (or birds, in this case) are born and how growing up is just apart of life.

That being said, although there are good qualities to this book, there are a lot of downfalls with this book as well. I did not like the fact that Mama bird one day surprisingly noticed there was a baby in her stomach. She acted as if her child appeared their randomly, which was odd, since I believe most children have more of a sense of how babies are made these days. Although I appreciated the bible quote at the end, I thought it was oddly placed. Maybe if it were put right in the beginning, it would give the reader more of a sense of what the book is about.

The writing in general is only subpar; it is written in a way that kids will easily understand but I also think it feels a little too dry at certain points. There is a lot of rhyming which I feel is just unnecessary. I do think kids would like this book if they were given a chance to read it, but I myself have read a lot more thought-out and well written children’s books. I recommend this book to any parent who wants to teach their kids about life. This book shows them that growing up is a process and although it can feel difficult at times, you can get through it.

Sorry but book would not download properly so I could not review it. I tried several times but still the same thing.

This sweet little book is perfect for younger aged children, the pictures are colorful and the story is sweet.

Two birds are given the gift of an egg. Upon the hatching of the egg into a baby bird the two parents continue to shower their new baby with love and teach it all the essential things a new bird should know--all about singing and flying.

I received a complimentary copy of this book in exchange for my unbiased review

Mama Bird Papa Bird is the story of the arrival of a new little baby bird in a robin's nest. When I say "the arrival", maybe I should say "the surprise arrival", given how neither Mama nor Papa seems to have a clue how this little baby bird materialised, other than the fact that he came from an egg!

This is a sweet little story but a little naïve. I didn't like how the story of the new bird's arrival was glossed over or how the only indication of his imminent arrival was Mama Bird "growing fat". Let's give our littles some credit! This is a simple story about family that has been told many, many times, often in a better manner. It gets an extra star for its very traditional but cute illustrations, and because I like robins.

I am not sure about this book. It is about the arrival of baby bird to make a family with mama bird and papa bird, but it is just a little naive. Mama and Papa build a nest, Papa gets food while Mama sits in the nest, Mama gets fat, suddenly, surprise, there is an egg. When the egg hatches Baby appears, gets fed and looked after and when Baby gets big, Mama teaches him/her to fly so he/she can leave the nest.

Really? My grandson knew that his baby sister was growing inside his mommy when he was two. Mommy was going to go to the hospital and the doctor would help her get the baby out. They sang to her tummy, rubbed it and talked to it. I do not think in today's society that we should let our children believe that babies or eggs appear by surprise. Not a book I am able to recommend.

In full page drawings with few words, the story of how a pair of birds suddenly find an egg in their nest is told. They have no idea how it got there. Mama got fat and then she wasn’t. (What exactly is the attempted lesson here?)
At some point it occurred to me there was rhyming going on, but it didn’t hit me at the beginning, which is unusual.
Ends with the parents squabbling over baby’s career path, so to speak. But after that there’s a bible bit that seems to imply the whole book was about keeping to old-fashioned gender roles. What was a simple and almost-boring story becomes rather chilling.
As usually happens, the artwork is the best part, though the birds smile way too smugly.

A book that tells children that mommies should stay at home and daddies should go out into the world to provide for the family is definitely not our kind of book! Sorry.
