Nerdy Birdy

My child, age 6, loved this story! Great message: people don't have to look or behave like you to be your friend. Value people who care about you...not just because they are cool or because you have the same interests. It also sparked a curiosity about different types of birds! Illustrations were very enjoyable!

Great book for youngsters. I found this at the local school's library and knew immediately this would be a good book for my grandchildren.

Adorable story and so funny for a six year old and his grandma. Love the moral of this story. You won’t regret buying this book!

I got this book in a book exchange and I'm so glad I did. My boys are 7 year old twins and they absolutely love this book. I've even read it in their classrooms. The story is cute and the message is so important, especially since my boys tend toward the lightsaber-toting nerdy kids more than the eagle. I think it's more important than ever for kids to know it's ok to be different and that everyone just wants to be treated well. Buy this book, you won't be disappointed.

I use this book to teach the importance of individuality and self love. Nerdy Birdy is an adorable character loved by all who read this book! Highly recommend for 2nd-3rd graders.

This review is from my 6 y.o. Have you ever been teased or left behind? Allergic to bird seeds, likes reading and video games, big glasses, small wings - that's Nerdy Birdy, and she has no friends. All the birds around are cool, but she isn't. Will she find a real friend? With their colorful and funny illustrations, and simple language Aaron Reynolds and Matt Davies in their book Nerdy Birdy teach kids about kindness, self-esteem, and that real friends accept each other even if they're different. I recommend this book for children who are looking for true friends.

My daughter is 6, wears glasses, plays Minecraft and reads novels. She doesn't always fit in with her first great peers. One of my pet names for her is Nerdy Bird. This book is adorable and made her feel like a book was written just for her. It's a tale not only of "finding your flock" and the group where you feel like you belong, but also being willing to go outside that comfort zone and find that friends who are much different from you also enrich your life! Mom enjoyed the little Doctor Who easter eggs in the art, because, you know, being a Nerdy Birdy is genetic.

It is a very nice story about finding friends and making new ones when you are different. Then it switches to the group of "nerds" not being willing to accept a different bird into their crowd. Now Nerdy Birdy must decide what he will do about being friends with a new bird. This should help children to realize that friendship has can allow for differences in interests and appearances.
