Courtney Dicmas' delightful story follows Pippi and Burt forays into the big wide world in search of a new abode that will more comfortably accommodate them and their eight younger brothers and sisters... Eventually the two together come to a realisation that it's a case of 'east, west home's best' for none of the places feels as ... Read morehomely and snuggly as that small nest of theirs with all their siblings for company. Cleverly constructed and totally engaging at every turn of the page; those birds are adorable, every one of them. And the other animals are equally winningly portrayed in Courtney Dicmas' super spreads. Her best book so far in my opinion.

There is so much to enjoy about Courtney Dicmas's tale of how it feels to take those precious first steps beyond our familiar comfort zone; not least the hilarious range of expressions she is able to give her little birds as they test out a succession of deeply unsuitable living rooms. Little ones will love trying to guess what creature the wanderers have landed on each time they put their feet down; and although the story ends with them happily tucked up where they started, there's an extra illustration by way of an epilogue, showing our hero and heroine wearing hard hats and drawing up architectural plans - clearly, further adventures are in store!
