Synopsis

A delightful bedtime story with lots of pictures and a happy ending. Bluejay and Woodpecker are confined in the aviary of a living museum and long to get out and join the birds they see outside the windows. Bluejay figures out how to escape and is accompanied by Woodpecker. However, the outside world is quite different from what they expected! The author was teased by a little bluejay and a little woodpecker while she was a docent in an aviary, and grew to love them. Her love for these most interesting of the many birds in the aviary made her want to write a story about them, so she did. The end of the story came about because the author so cared for these sweet little birds that she knew they could not survive after having experienced being only in an aviary. Children will understand that, and the book makes for happy bedtime reading.
