Winner of the 2008 Geisel Award

Willems, Mo. There is a Bird on Your Head.
In this award winning book, Gerald discovers he has a bird on his head. As he is talking to Aggie, another bird flies to poor Gerald’s head and falls in love with the other bird and so starts a hilarious series of events that lead to a simple “please.” The expressions on the characters’ faces are finely illustrated by Willems which makes this book perfect for younger readers who are barely learning how punctuation can change the meaning of words. I personally loved the illustrations and I know pre-schoolers will love them too.
Winner of Theodor Seuss Geisel Medal
