The Best Nest

Tonight while reading “The Best Nest” which Connor refers to as The Bird Singing Book I came to the dramatic part of the story. Mr. Bird is distraught because he can’t find Mrs. Bird. This is because Mrs. Bird, insisted on building a nest on top of a bell in a bell tower and lo and behold when Mr. Parker rang the bell she flew away. Mr. Bird mistakenly thinks that a cat ate her and is flying through the rain, crying. During this part of the story, I even did the dramatic voice, making Connor take notice and sit up in bed.

When I explained to him that Mr. Bird was SO sad that he was crying, Connor’s little face wrinkled up in a look of disbelief, “WHERE is his MOMMY!? WHERE IS SHE!!!???” he demanded, immediately upset. It was so hard to read the next page without laughing…
