Wordy Birdy Meets Mr. Cougarpants

Illustrated by Dave Mottram
Look inside
Wordy Birdy and her pals go on a very chatty camping trip, in a hilarious story with a truly ridiculous villain—from beloved author Tammi Sauer.

Wordy Birdy is all ready for a big night under the stars. ("I brought pickles and bean burritos and more pickles and mashed potatoes and some pickles and . . .") But her friends soon find themselves in hot water when the dastardly Mr. Cougarpants stalks their campsite. Can Wordy Birdy talk them all out of this pickle? Grab your pack, grill up a s'more, and find out!

Author Tammi Sauer will keep young readers and their parents giggling with this funny, chatty, boisterous adventure about the importance of listening AND the importance of speaking up for your friends!
