With humor and charm, a bluebird narrates her first year of life--adventures, joys, and scary times too--in this companion book to My Awesome Summer by P. Mantis."May 1: Today is my birthday." So begins the wondrous first year of E. Bluebird. In hilarious, dated journal entries, readers are treated to the intimate details of an Eastern Bluebird's life. "May 8: Eating all these bugs makes me poop. My mom takes my poop sack out of the nest. Good thing." Over the summer she grows in new feathers, watches her siblings leave the nest, and learns to bravely take flight herself--migrating over the winter, and returning to start a family of her own the next year. Paul Meisel's beautiful, kid-friendly art has been vetted for accuracy by two experts, and more information about Eastern Bluebirds, including a glossary and links for further reading, can be found on the illustrated endpapers. A companion book, My Awesome Summer by P. Mantis, was an American Association for Advancement of Science/Subaru Science Books & Film Finalist. In a rave review, The New York Times called it " a] celebration of nature's strangeness and wild wonders." A Junior Library Guild Selection

Good for a while
Pattern Name: Tug Rag
My GSD puppy, at 6 months made shredded leather out of this in a matter of weeks. Initially it was fine but if you spend more than an hour or two playing with your dog, chances are this toy will begin to tear.

Crazy how much our dog loved this
Pattern Name: Tug Rag
It is crazy how much our baby loved this thing. Has held up decently except she chewed off the handle like a goober. Fun to play tug of war with. Soft and safe for teeth. She loves carrying it from room to room, nice and light.

Recommend
Pattern Name: Tug Rag
This is the best toy for puppy teeth. If you want to play with your pup you can hold with your hands & it protects your fingers. Our pup does prefer this toy to others & I think it is because the leather is thick.
