A fledgling takes flight in a way he never imagined in this darling book by the creator of Leon & Bob.
George, a tawny wisp of a bird, would rather snuggle in his nest than try out his wings and fly south.
Perched midway down the branch of a big tree at the entrance to a city park, the nest seems cozy and safe.
But Momma bird knows it won't be either for long.
Only a few leaves still cling to the tree and soon snow will come and worms will be hard to find.
