Due to the video being aired on television a bunch of people show up at Weir’s house the next day with cameras. They take tons of photos of Weir and the pets. They end up scaring the bird off and the rest of the book is everyone looking for the missing bird.
I really like these books. They are funny. They are interesting and they have a different sort of feel to them then most children’s books I have read. I enjoy that they are easy to read. I like that the cover dictates what color will be used to emphasize certain text within the pages of the book. In this case it is purple. I like how the words on the pages blend together seamlessly with the illustrations.
I look forward to reading more books in this series when they are released.… (more)
