I will go find my mother, he said. Baby Bird did not know what his mother looked like. He asks a kitten, a hen, a dog and a cow. Are you my mother? No, we are not your mother. And neither is the boat or the plane or the big snort machine. But the big snort machine knows who baby birds Mother is and lifts a baby bird back to the nest just as Mother Bird comes back. Do you know who I am? She s finally Baby Bird finds his mother. Are you my mother? By P. D. Eastman is a classic easy reader, published by the Dr Seuss Siri's of Beginning readers in 1960.

If you want any breakfast, just come here and scratch the end. Now for a story to hear until the Peeping Chick, adapted by Me, Lauren and based on the book The Baby B B Bird by Diane Massey. One spring night, an egg cracked open and out of it hatched a baby chick peep, she said into the quiet of the night peep. She asked into the quiet peep. She shouted into the quiet, waking up every hen, duck, goose dog, cat, cow, goat pig and horse on the farm. Go back to sleep, said her mother with a tired croak. But the baby chick did not listen. She was to have a happy and excited to be out of her egg people. Maybe, he shouted, Go back to sleep said Every hen, duck, goose dog, cat, cow go pig and horse on the farm. But the baby chick did not listen. She was just too excited and happy to be out of her take. She shouted all night long No animal in the farm Got any sleep that night And in the morning, baby chick was finally fast asleep But all the animals were awake and very tired. The farmer came to the to the barn to feed the hens. The ducts, the G's the dog, the cat, the cow, the pig on the horse He saw how to hire They were it looks like they didn't sleep a wink last night Look, a new chick sleeping its nest like a baby Aw, the animals dragged off the day and when the sun went down they all quickly fell asleep. What shot of the wide awake baby chick? Oh, no, mon the animals. Here we go again. So no animal on the fire and got any sleep that night either. In the morning, as the baby chicks slept dreamily in her nest, the animals in the barn where bleary eyed but determined they came up with a plan and This is what they did. Every hen, duck, goose, dog, cat, cow, pig and horse all shouted at the top of their lungs. Bark! Quack, hawk! Woof! Now move like Hey, the baby chick woke up. She could not sleep all day because every animal on the farm would not stop shouting Bach black hunk! Move me out! Move like hey! Until the sun went down After that noisy day, the baby chick did not even notice how quiet it was in the barn that night. She was so tired, all she could do was sleep. And after that she only when the sun came up in the morning. The end Okay, wasn't that fun? Now it's time for early literacy tips and commentary just for grownups. The early literacy advice I have for you today is on nature. The egg hunt Any time is a wonderful time to see the marvels of growing things all around us. As the world is our always egg, you can transform any day into a nature the egg hunt. Take a walk with your child and have them look for not so hidden things. Can you see the purple flower or the pink one look at the leaves on the trees. How the shape is so different from a maple Ah, birch or a pineal. If you know the names of trees and plants, tell them to your child. This is a mesquite tree. See how the leaves are like feathers and the trunk is bumpy. Then when you spy another mesquite tree on your walk, you could ask Hey, I see a mesquite tree somewhere, Do you? How many do you see? 12 or three? Also point to birds and animals. A ground squirrel or a tree squirrel, a plane sparrow or robin with a red breast? Watch the clouds come and go. Change shape and color. These are the sweet moments to teach and bond with your child. Seeing the world all its colors and difference will expand their awareness and discernment and support problem solving, creativity and critical thinking along the way, I guarantee you and your child will become like just hatched chicks. Seeing the world as new together. That's it for now. Thanks for joining in the story. Time Seedlings Podcast. I hope you have a wonderful and beautiful spring ahead of you.
