After learning, in DISinformation, that losing his feathers (moulting) is a perfectly natural part of life, Woody the Canary is told by his so-called buddy, Sir Humphrey, the Princess Parrot, that his trilling song is dis-com-bob-u-lat-ing to all his feathered friends.
Woody can hardly say the word, let alone track down who finds his song so unpleasant.
In this epic birdlife tale, the first of the Woody & Sir Humphrey Series, word is out that Woody the Canary is going to lose his feathers.
Mr. Wren is feeling very blue, so Mrs. Wren decides to find out why.
With Mark Eatwell’s spectacular nature photographs and Trevor Todd’s simple, uncomplicated text, we find out Mr. Wren thinks he doesn’t measure up to other birds. But once his secret is revealed, Mrs. Wren knows just how to cheer him up.

A clever and cute book that fosters a love of nature and empathy with animals and their feelings. It shows just how close animals are to ourselves in that they also have health problems and have things that get sore and need fixing! I think people underestimate the skill and amazing things that veterinarians do and this book really shows just how clever at problem solving vets have to be. And perhaps more correctly, we vets should be called animal doctors! I particularly enjoyed the giraffe with the sore neck and the lion with laryngitis. And the song is definitely the best part of all.
