Thank you to NetGalley and Andrews McMeel Publishing for providing me with an eARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.

This was a fun and quick comic collection featuring different animals.

I chuckled and laughed, and overall had a good time, though this did not stay in my mind too much.

Barkman's artwork is fantastic, and I love the style and layout of these comics, AND the fact that they're sorted by season. They're not rip-roaringly funny, however. I might have smiled at a few of the strips, but there were no LOL moments.
This is a likeable collection, probably best taken in small doses.

i went into this book not having read the other book by joshua barkman. it did fall a bit flat for me. i did absolutely love the art style and the way it changed with each short comic. some parts were funny, but some i just didn't understand. i would recommend it for a short in between read!

I've enjoyed a lot of the False Knees comics I've seen here and there on social media, so I was excited to read this collection, but unfortunately, it fell short for me. I didn't think it was particularly funny or interesting. I think these comics work better for me as an occasional highlights thing instead of sifting through the less amusing ones.

Birds always make the best animals for comics, whether they're cartoony or realistic—the latter being the case here. I've come across Barkman's comics a few times on Instagram and have always enjoyed the ones I've seen, whether they're intended to be funny or just interesting. There's just something about birds, and I highly recommend this.

"Nothing works! I don't get it" – and that's the words of a bird on these pages, and the sound of me wondering what the heck the point of all this was. I got no insight or entertainment from what I bothered to look at of this, whatsoever. I'm always loath to give a flat one star, but this was close – only the art when it was good and able to show authenticity allowed it to go any higher. So, one and a half if is.

This is a book of comics, mostly about birds, their actions and thoughts. I love the art style but I didn’t “get” some of the jokes. While this is cute, I didn’t find it all that funny or compelling, but bird lovers will probably love this.

My favorite graphic novel I've ever read. As someone who loves birds, the art was impeccable and so well done. I found a lot of hope and comfort in this book and bought two copies of it the day it came into my store!!

So I love birds, always have. This was the best fun comic/clips to read! I love the art and the fun of it. It had me kicking my feet out with joy and few times. Also looking at it and sharing with a friend to say hey this is totally us. Id love to have a physical copy one day.

Charming art but somehow the rest of the content was almost instantly forgotten. There are two panels that are the exception.

While I enjoyed this book overall, it felt a bit repetitive. I enjoyed a few of the quick captions, but some felt tired. Overall a good read though.

I absolutely loved this. The amount of time I bursted out laughing was crazy 🤣🤣 Absolutely adored the drawing style but absolutely loved how the author portrayed each bird too. There were panels that made me rethink life, panels that made me laugh, panels that made me think "I gotta change my mindset to this", and panels that made me cry. So grateful I got to read this. Absolutely amazing.

Birds - fun. Illustrations - fun. What's not to like?

I admit some of the jokes did not land, but I mostly had a great time reading this comic on my work breaks. Plus I really like birds.

Ew, It's Beautiful is a compilation of random thoughts of birds (and sometimes some other animals) as they go about their life. Since it's all random, you don't have to read it front to back if you don't want to. The art style was different from page to page, which took a little getting used to. Some of the pages were laugh out loud funny. Unfortunately, I didn't get the humor of most of them, so overall this book was disappointing.

I received a digital ARC of this book thanks to the publisher and NetGalley.

This comic was so much fun! I couldn’t stop smiling while reading it and found it hard to put down. The art of these birds going about their lives was stunning and coupled with the hilarious text it made for a phenomenal reading experience. I would highly recommend this to people who need a little extra joy in their lives.

I really, really like False Knees so when I i had a chance to read this one, how could I i resist the sweet siren song of birbs?

The jokes are great and the art is gorgeous! Flipping through it definitely put a smile on my face!

Thank you NetGalley and Andrews McMeel Publishing for this arc

5/5 stars

This was a cute and funny book! Each page had unique jokes so reading this never got old or repetitive, the art is beautiful and detailed, and the bird expressions along with the captions were quite funny! A great little book to pick up and open at random for a little pick me up!

I like False Knees and I liked this book! It's funny, relatable, contains birds! What else do you want?

This book features great artwork and a collection of funny mini comics starring birds, with occasional appearances from other animals. It's a lighthearted and fun read that's sure to make you smile!

Cute comic from the perspective of BIRDS!! YES!!!

As someone who has spent much of her life [starting when I was a kid with a V E R Y overactive imagination] wondering what birds and animals are saying to each other, this was a lot of fun and I think people will get a real kick out of the comic and fun illustrations!
