Goodreads
Preschoolers to 1st grade will laugh at the funny ways this sneaky ostrich tries to camouflage himself with a woodpecker or as a person on the subway or other silly antics. This book reminds me of “It’s a good thing” by Steve Zukmann (1987) with the humor and animals. I read this book to 3 groups of children and they enjoyed it a lot. It has large, beautiful illustrations and a surprise ending which will delight listeners. Great for story time and read aloud.
