From award-winning illustrator Chris haughton, one of the most exciting new voices in children's literature, comes a brand new picture book about a beautiful bird, an unquenchable desire and plans gone awry... Four friends, three big and one little, are out for a walk. Suddenly, they spot it — a beautiful bird perched high in a tree! They simply MUST have it and — SHH! — they have a PLAN. So they tip-toe, tip-toe very slowly, nets poised — Ready one... ready two... ready three... GO! But, at the turn of the page, we find a ridiculous bunch of very tangled characters and a blissfully oblivious bird, flying away. One hilarious foiled plan after another and it's clear that this goofy trio CANNOT catch that elusive birdie! But the littlest of this group, a quiet spectator up until now, knows that a bit of kindness and sweetness can go a lot further than any elaborate scam. Will his three friends follow his gentle lead or will they get themselves into even more trouble? There was a stunning GREEN cover for A Bit Lost, an eye-catching ORANGE for Oh No, George! and now you can add a vibrant BLUE book to your Chris Haughton collection! This is the covetable new picture book from Chris Haughton, the multi award winning author-illustrator of A Bit Lost (published into 19 different languages worldwide) and Oh No, George!
