Review:

So silly! Albert gets lost in a storm and ends up in the city, trying desperately to find the ocean again. None of the birds he talks to know the way. He ends up as a hat decoration and finds his way back by chance. Just a light, fun read about a bird needing to go home.

Kid Thoughts:

They think it’s especially silly when Albert asks inanimate objects where the ocean is! They love this one.

Content Considerations:

There are mentions of luck, which isn’t a big deal here, but I know in some houses it can be.
