About This Book

Black Spider thinks Yellow Bird should be more traditional. "Why don't you make a lovely, cozy nest?" asks Black Spider. "I like hotels, actually," says Yellow Bird. But is Yellow Bird willing to change his unconventional ways? He is a unique bird who does his own thing in his own way. Black Spider soon learns that this bird likes sailing, vanilla ice cream, and even red guitars-but his most shocking discovery comes at the end, when Black Spider innocently asks, "Why don't you eat some yummy, squelchy worms?"

This quirky, stylish tale is full of wit and whimsy. Its ever-so-slightly macabre ending serves as the perfect punch line to this clever book.
