Description

Webster the stork is a proud delivery bird who normally delivers animal babies to their parents around the world. When he crashes into a hot-air balloon and gets his brain "knocked out of whack," he begins delivering the wrong babies to the wrong animal families. The bats receive a moose, and two tiny frog parents get an enormous newborn elephant. The book follows Webster as he tries to fix his mistakes while delivering babies to animal families everywhere.

Quick Summary

A stork with a knocked-out brain accidentally delivers the wrong babies to animal families worldwide, turning the animal kingdom into one giant mix-and-match puzzle. Kids will laugh out loud at the surprising results when a polar bear tries to mother a tiny penguin and an elephant family is baffled by their new mouse chick. If your kid likes "The Day the Crayons Quit" or "Dragons Love Tacos," they'll snort with laughter at this wacky mix-up adventure. Perfect for ages 5 to 7 or kindergarten through second grade.
