Catherine is a clever, high spirited, cheerful young girl living in the middle ages. Besides having a beast for a father, pig for a brother, and a annoyance for a nanny, Catherine must deal with the ill-mannered suiters that come to take her as their wife. This is an amazing book for children.

This is a wonderful, funny, thought-provoking story. A plucky girl overcomes her origins as a nameless orphan, and finds her own way in a medieval English village.

This is by far the best book I have ever read. The book is funny, witty, and well-written. I loved it and I have read it several times.

Catherine Called Birdy was an exciting book. You never knew what was going to happen next. It's about a teenage girl who is being married off to a "pig," who she hates. Well, not if she has anything to say about it. I liked this book because it was interesting to know what a young girl's life would be like back then. The title grabbed my attention because it was unusual. I would recommend this book to anyone who likes books that take place in the Middle Ages and who enjoys a great book that you can't put down.

I thought this book was ok. Somne of it was confusing and boring otherwise it was very good.
