A classic entry in the beloved Wills & Hepworth "Ladybird" animal series. This cautionary tale follows the misadventures of a small bird whose insatiable appetite leads him into one scrape after another, ignoring the warnings of his woodland friends. With its vibrant, full-page illustrations and rhythmic prose, the story charmingly explores the themes of moderation and the consequences of overindulgence.
A nostalgic favourite for collectors, perfectly capturing the gentle moral storytelling and high-quality craftsmanship of mid-century children's literature.
