Poor tiny Birdie has no house. But Birdie does have friends.
Spike, Queenie, Goldie, and Fidget want to help Birdie find a house of his own. Birdie needs a house that isn't too tall and isn't too thin, that isn't too short and isn't too fat, and that isn't too wide and isn't too narrow. Will they find a house for Birdie before the rain falls and the wind blows?

I will use this book to teach about capacity. I will ask students to bring in their favorite stuff animal. I will then find boxes of different sizes. The students will then try to figure out which animal is taller? Which is thinner and which is wider? they will then decide which animal will fit best in which box.
"A sweet and simple story about helping out a friend explains the math concept of capacity -- what will fit in a container of a particular shape and size."
From the Reading Nook
PK-1 Can use for teaching shapes and the concept of volume and capacity at a beggining level.

I ordered this book because a Flannel Friday colleague created a flannelboard for it, and I wanted to see the original story. Turns out, I like her version better than the book! http://storytiming.com/2011/06/17/fla...
Fun little book about shapes. Each bird is a different size and they have to find the right house for each bird. Great lesson for math.
colorful and fun this picture book teaches the concept of different shapes.
Good for 4 & 5 year old Bird Program
