If You Meet a Barfing Bird: How Not to Help Animals

By Etta Kaner

Young readers will learn about the habits of unusual animals and what they really need to exist.

Animals have some unusual ways to survive in the wild. That's why a sleeping bear might not appreciate an alarm clock. In fact, a wake-up call could be dangerous. In If You Meet a Barfing Bird, kids discover why they should definitely NOT help the animals they meet. A red-lipped batfish doesn't want water wings and a hairy seaweed crab isn't looking for a haircut. Hilarious situations and outraged reactions from animals make for a laugh-out-loud read.
