What a wonderful wee book. This was my first read, in the Bird Brain Book series, and I think it is just wonderful. It is very well written and the illustrations are lovely.

I love Ruby and her passion for life. She is such a great wee phoenix, who is courageous and curious about the outside world. I think this is great for young children, as it teaches them to be strong and look for all the beauty in the world, rather than just taking things as they are.

I liked that she may not have done what was right or expected, but that her reasons were good. It shows children that they may sometimes have to go against others, in order to do what is kind and right.

I liked the friendship she made, which showed that you can do so with anyone, even if others tell you that you shouldn't be friends or it is not allowed. That is very important in the world we live in and I think that and the ending really show that anything is achievable in life.

I highly recommend this book and entire series to all adults, for reading to the children in your life.
