The time has come for Little Bird to take flight. What could be waiting for him out in the world? A snarling wildcat? Vicious wolves? Hungry crocodiles?! "Nope!" he proclaims. Leaving the nest is not an option. But Mama Bird's ' kisses and cuddles--and a swift but encouraging kick out of the nest--help the tiny bird soar. Sweetly (and humorously!) told, Nope by author-illustrator Drew Sheneman is a heartwarming debut with appeal to both kids and parents.

A sparkling debut about a nurturing mama bird, a fearful baby bird, and his near-failure to launch, by cartoonist Drew Sheneman.

Reviews
Advance Praise for NOPE by Drew Sheneman:

"Sheneman makes a solid children's book debut with this memorable parent-child pair-the baby bird's sense of drama may remind some readers of Mo Willems's beguilingly histrionic Pigeon-and his crisp digital illustrations and playful sense of composition never miss a comic beat."
-Publishers Weekly

"Full of humor and action."
-Kirkus Reviews

"This could serve as a broad hint to graduates at least aseffectively as it provides reassurance for young children about to start daycare or preschool."
-Booklist
