Age: Toddler-Preschool

Anholt really hits her audience on the nose with a pleasant and readable rhyme scheme, bright illustrations, and a simplified discussion about divorce for a young age. However, due to the simplicity, Anholt presents the adult birds' separation as a result of being in a cramped nest, and "it might be best if we build Daddy another nest." Little ones might wonder why everyone can't just live in a bigger house together. Also, the ending was a little weird when the baby bird learns to fly--only then can he visit his dad.
