Bird is sweltering on his branch now that it is Summer.
Spider reminds Bird that he should be doing the Summer Song his mum taught him. Especially if he is still looking for a best friend. But Bird is just too hot.
Spider helps with the heat and gets Bird back on his feet. Together, they do the Summer Song – and this time, someone hears Bird’s tune. They leave the tree and find a worm not far away.
He too is hot and needs a little help. Bird and Spider discover that Worm doesn’t have any friends either. It seems to be a common problem…
Continuing Bird and Spider’s story from book 1 – Bird! in Spring (Along Came a Spider), this episode connects wonderfully, with laugh out loud results. Helping each other with problems, they also share the worries about finding friends.
Young listeners and readers are going to enjoy Bird and Spider’s story and its new character, Worm, as he shows them his home.
Looking forward to the next season for these friends, who haven’t realised they are friends yet.
But I’m still keeping my eye on that cat…
Absolutely delightful.
