Dirty Birdy Feet by Rick Winter
One night at dinner while the whole family was eating sloppy joes ("Mom had just washed the white carpet and told us to be careful"), a bird fell into the chimney, dropped into the ashes, and started a chain reaction of uproarious chaos. In no time, the cat dashed after the bird, the dog jogged after the cat, Brother dripped sloppy joe Mom yelled, Dad growled, and Little Brother and Little Sister watched in delight as the white carpet was covered with messy footprints.
Kids will love the fast-paced story with its riotous illustrations and parents will appreciate this frenzied portrayal of those days when life gets a little out of control.
