Review
Tbyrd Fearlessness, a scheming ostrich, thinks he is very clever. The problem is, no one else agrees with him. Then a rube (possibly a penguin, or a buzzard--it's not entirely clear) arrives in town, and Tbyrd fleeces him for a "hat tax." After a dastardly badger takes the newcomer for everything else, Tbyrd and the rube team up to recover the stolen goods, a task that demands crafty Tbyrd to call on his cunning and guile, then find a way to recover when everything goes awry. The Old West setting is decked out with visual gags here and there and reinforced by the sepia-tone theme, but most of the action happens in the zany dialogue that swells out of each panel. The jokey asides and playfully sophisticated take on language are reminiscent of Walt Kelly's Pogo, but the gag-a-second pace may leave some readers a bit numb. Others, however, will hold their sides for the duration of this manic blend of mayhem and adventure." -- Online March 2008

Customer Reviews

Really funny
I also own other books by Ray Friesen (Lookit, Yarg, etc..). I read them to my 5 and 7 year old and they enjoy them very much.
What they liked most about this one: "Ptui" when TBird finds out he is treating Cassowary to lunch, and the expression "nincompoop covered in stupidity sauce".

The only thing I didn't like are a few spelling and grammatical errors (like your vs you're), but I point those out to my kids. They are few and don't detract at all from the fun.

I am looking forward to the next book by Ray Friesen!
