Purple Little Bird

 by Greg Foley

Summary: Purple Little Bird leaves his almost perfect purple home in search of a better place. Although Brown Bear, Yellow Camel, and others live in very nice places, none is quite right for him.

This is a cute repetitive story that can be used to discuss appreciating what one has. Also, a discussion on how too much of one thing is not enjoyable is warranted as well. Each character is a distinct color and lives in an area of that color, which makes it appropriate to practice identifying colors with young children.
