The Go-Away Bird
Julia Donaldson, Catherine Rayner
From a star picture-book partnership, Julia Donaldson and the award-winning Catherine Rayner comes a gorgeous story about friendship and working together.
‘The Go-Away bird sat up in her nest,
With her fine grey wings and her fine grey crest.’
One by one, the other birds fly into her tree, wanting to talk or to play, but the Go-Away bird just shakes her head and sends them all away. But then the dangerous Get-You bird comes along, and she soon realizes that she might need some friends after all . . .
The Go-Away Bird combines brilliant rhyming verse from much-loved children’s author Julia Donaldson, creator of the bestselling picture books The Gruffalo and What the Ladybird Heard, with stunning illustrations from the CILIP Kate Greenaway Medal-winning Catherine Rayner. A charming story about the power of friendship from a thrilling creative partnership, this beautiful book is perfect for reading together.

It was a story of an unfriendly bird who would push away every bird who would come and try to make friends with her. But one day she needed help and all the birds came to her rescue. A lovely story about friendship.

This is the stiory about a grey bird. She always says Go away to other birds. Then a brown bird chased after her .Then the other birds came to rescue the grey bird and the birds all chased the brown bird faraway. This is a wonderful story about friends .

I thought it was good. I thought the brown bird was going to eat the grey bird. I thought the green bird was really chatty. I thought the red bird was really greedy. I thought the blue bird was so flippy and flappy. I thought the brown bird was scary . I thought the yellow bird was really quacky.
