I chose to review this with my youngest daughter who is 6 and has autism. Last spring a bird made her nest in our gazebo so my daughter was able to see the nest, the momma bird and the eggs. This book gave her a chance to meld reality and literature together. She loved the drawings and the story; it made her very excited for Spring to come around again in hopes we see another nest this year.

As her mother I thought it was very well written, the drawings were beautiful and went perfectly with the story. Having it end on a question gave me a chance to talk to her about what she thinks she'll do when she's older and it's time for her to leave "our nest".

I would definitely recommend this to other caregivers and educators because it's not just a sweet story but it opens up an opportunity for dialogue with children and their future plans.

Delicious, enchanting, wonderfully illustrated, Mama Bird Papa Bird by Wanda Obermeier published by Adnaw Publishing is the story completely illustrated of the arrival of a little new baby bird in the nest of this colored couple of robin birds. This children's book is for sure a gem in the panorama of children's books.

At first the belly of mama bird grows and then a little egg appears on the horizon, ops, well yes, in the nest.

Considering that the egg is frail mama bird will keep it warm while papa bird, her husband will go here and there for discovering new food for feeding himself and of course his lady bird.

Later the discovery: with great surprise a new little baby robin bird is borning.

The new bird will learn slowly slowly thanks to its wise parents to grow up, to fly, to become independent and once he will leave his old nest.

This children's book is surely cute, sweet. I loved to read it, I fell in love for all the illustrations, very colored and I think that each child should read it as well because it is very nice and instructive.

The book is for children from 0 to 8 years and received also the Mom's Choice Gold Award.

This little book has magical illustrations and can teach kids a lot, especially sprout discussions on birthing and family. I took out a star because of the wording in the story, mama bird "growing fat" and the egg mysteriously appearing. Perhaps it would have been more appropriate to tell the story of "wanted baby", as it looks like a surprise, a good surprise for the bird parents but still strange.
What I loved most about this little books was the drawing, it is done so candidly and it is so vividly portraying life of the little bird family. I am thinking of getting the paper copy for my son as this littlr book seems good for explaining where babies come from. Naturally I would focus more on the "wanted" babies.
Thank you so much to Netgalley and the publisher for this free copy in exchange for an honest review.

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

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.

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.

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.

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
