While out foraging for things, Vernon the toad found a new friend, a small blue bird who is always silent. Vernon shows the blue bird many different places and some of his favorite things and bird still says nothing. Vernon takes it upon himself to help his new friend find his home. They take many ways to travel and soon come to a farm to rest for the night. Will Vernon be able to help his new friend find his home?

This is a delightful book with many washed out colorful drawings. It teaches children to never give up on one of their friends. It also teaches children that helping a friend in need can be rewarding.
