Dirty Birdy Feet

(4) K-3 Illustrated by Mike Lester. In this cumulative tale, a bird falls into the house through the chimney and creates havoc by flying around, scattering ashes, and being chased by pets and family members who make even more mess. Although the refrain gets longer and longer with little payoff, the text is rhythmic, and the distorted cartoons done in pencil and watercolor suit the frenetic mode up to the rather abrupt ending.
