Have you ever made a magical wish upon a shooting star?

Was it for a pet ostrich?

Follow the adventure and humor as a spunky child wishes for a pet ostrich of her very own. Will it be everything she hopes for - or a big feathery mistake? This delightful, rhyming tale about the fastest bird in the world has a surprise ending that is sure to bring a smile.

A bonus educational section is included to help children who are already ostrich fans - and those who aren’t fans yet!

Humor and laughter support creativity. Giving a child a brain break with laughter helps with social skills and improves cognitive development.

Inspired by the books of Dr. Seuss, this book was created to encourage emergent listeners, spark a child's imagination, and will teach children how language works. Listening to books that rhyme, help children make prediction of words.

A free comprehension and activity lesson are included at the end of this story.
