While most birds fly elsewhere for the winter, George stays put. He's too busy to explore -- or so he tells everyone. But when a friendly bear stops by, George finally confesses the truth behind his reluctance to leave home. Can the bear help George discover new places, or is this bird destined to be a homebody forever?
This story is adorable and filled with warmth and humor. The reveal about why George stays home is likely to amuse children, and many will probably relate to his feelings. It's the illustrations that really stand out, however. They are a quirky, colorful mixed-media experience designed to delight readers.
