Book Description

“I am no fool. I knew that if I wanted to make it to the end of the week alive, I would have to avoid upsetting Grandpa as much as possible. No singing, no playful nips, no jaunty bell.”

Bird and Grandpa stay home in Massachusetts while Mother, Father, Joseph and Maya head south for a winter holiday. When Grandpa determines to set tropical Bird free in freezing February, Bird must use every bit of bird brain power to outsmart him.

• Will Bird become a parrot popsicle?
• What’s in the creepy second bedroom where no one ever goes?
• Do Grandpa and Bird play Dig a Hole to China and Send Birdie on a Trip?

In the spirit of Tom and Jerry, Bugs Bunny and Elmer Fudd, and Road Runner and Wile E. Coyote, here come Bird and Grandpa in the hilarious first short story in the Grandpa Hates the Bird series!

4.0 out of 5 stars Amusing but conflicted terms January 31, 2012
By Linda
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
As a parent, I would have read this to my boys simply because I saw nothing wrong with it. As a former teacher of small children & librarian storyteller I would not because there are certain terms (hate the bird, kill the bird)parents do not approve of and I do not feel comfortable introducing to other children. That said, if you buy it, pre-read it before introducing it to your child.

I liked the story. I think if it was longer and had more pictures or Illustrations in it I would have liked it more.

It is a nice story that could be read to children and I am sure children would like it.

I liked the story but it isn't something that I would read to my Grandchildren. I wouldn't want to plant the seed that their Grandpa Hates birds.

4.0 out of 5 stars Grandpa Hated the bird
This was a cute story, a little long but was able to keep the grandchildren entertained for the whole story. I really like the bird, he was cute.

4.0 out of 5 stars Cute!
Telling the story from the bird's point of view is cute and unique and in no way leaves you in doubt of how frustrated Grandpa is with the parrot.

I've also written a series of dark comic short stories for younger readers, inspired my dark comic dad, called Grandpa Hates the Bird. The book I'm working on now is called Cast Off: The Strange Adventures of Petra de Winter and Braam Broen.
