Willowbrook School is partnering with the Northbrook Public Library to share a “Book Stroll” with our District 30 community. The picture book Rescuing Mrs. Birdley by Aaron Reynolds will be on display around the field behind Willowbrook School through May 24.
“In this wildly charming and fantastically imaginative story by the New York Times bestselling author of Creepy Carrots and Creepy Pair of Underwear, a young animal expert knows just what to do when she spots her teacher in the wild.
Miranda is an animal expert. Or at least, she watches a lot of Nature Joe. Nature Joe is incredible. He rescues animals, returning them to their natural habitat. Mrs. Birdley is a teacher. The natural habitat of a teacher is a classroom.
So when Mrs. Birdley escapes school and ends up wild, loose, and confused at the local grocery store, Miranda knows just what to do: she must use her brain, her guts, and her extensive knowledge of Nature Joe to rescue Mrs. Birdley—at any cost!
This delightfully over-the-top picture book by newcomer Emma Reynolds explores the weirdness of seeing a teacher outside of school and will have young readers laughing out loud every time they read.
Thank you to the Northbrook Public library for this wonderful opportunity. This Book Stroll offers a safe and fun way for children and adults to enjoy reading and the outdoors at the same time.
