What Bird? is a simple, rhyming children's picturebook about a cat who eats the family canary and responds to accusations of the misdeed with the feline equivalent of saying 'What bird?' The childlike color illustrations help convey the upbeat story and its happy (if not terribly realistic) ending: "I know you did not mean it, / So do not sit and pout. // Let us hurry to the doctor, / She might just get him out! // Our doctor has many talents / There is much that she can do, // And soon our sweet canary / Will be singing just for you." A whimsical storybook sure to induce a smile or chuckle in young cat and bird lovers alike.
