Pip the takahe bird is lost in the forest and searches for a place to sleep, but the other animals' sleeping spots are wrong for him. On this journey through the New Zealand forest, children will meet various New Zealand species and learn adjectives that describe each animal's sleeping place. Children will identify with Pip's fear of being lost and alone and with the comfort of finding home and family in this vibrantly and gorgeously illustrated book.
