Theodor Seuss Geisel Award Winner


There Is a Bird on Your Head! By Mo Willems
There Is a Bird on Your Head
is a cute book for the emergent reader. The repetition will build reading fluency and the story’s plot is easily understood. The two main characters are two friends, and elephant and a pig. One day a bird decides to land on elephant’s head, and then another. Piggy explains that the two birds are love birds and now they are building a nest on your head. Elephant does not want this to happen but then 3 eggs end up in the nest and elephant becomes more agitated. As elephant declares he does not want 2 birds, a nest and eggs on his head, the eggs hatch. Elephant does not know what do to but he does know he does not want them on his head. So he asks piggy for help. Piggy suggests that he ask them to go someplace else, and they do. Elephant is excited, but piggy is not because he now has a family of birds and their nest living on his head.
