Growing up, I had the best of both worlds when it came to stories.
I had Dr. Seuss and P.D.
If Im being honest, I (and everyone my age) was spoiled.

We were surrounded by quality entertainment, something I feel isnt as present for todays youth.
For those of you who havent read it if you exist the story is exactly what it sounds like.
In anticipation of her soon-to-arrive child, a mother bird flies off to find a worm.
While shes gone, her baby bird hatches to find an empty nest.
In an attempt to find his mother, the baby bird falls from the nest and begins his search.
Some respond, others dont, but either way, the baby bird gets the message.
I also think it would make for a fun animated film.
First of all, the baby bird in this book isfreakin adorable, which always helps.
ThinkFinding Nemobut on land and with the baby doing the searching instead of the parent.
Throw in some Dory-like humor, and Im in.
And with it being an adaptation, theres obviously the opportunity to add a few more plot points.
He thinks the baby bird whom he decides to call Pete should accept that his mother doesnt want him.
Of course, its not true, and Pete isnt one to give into peer pressure.
The two set off on a journey together.
She joins their gang as the supportive, kind voice of reason.
And with every animal Pete approaches, their gang grows, until finally, hes found himself a family.
However, Pete still cant shake the notion that his mother is worried about him.
He wanders off, upset that he still isnt happy.
He misses his mom.
And yes, this is the part of the movie that will make you cry.
Now tell me: Would you take your kids to see this film?
