Wordy Birdy

A parent might reach for this book when their child is so eager to share their own thoughts that they frequently talk over others or fail to notice important safety cues in their environment. It is the perfect tool for addressing the behavior of the delightful but distracted chatterbox who forgets that communication is a two way street. Through the humorous antics of Wordy Birdy, children see the real world consequences of not listening, from missing out on social cues to wandering into tricky situations. The story emphasizes how friends look out for one another and why paying attention to our surroundings is a sign of respect and self preservation. It is a lighthearted, non preachy way to discuss social boundaries and situational awareness with preschoolers and early elementary students.
