A Chapter Book
(K–3rd Grade)
ages 4–8
Fird, part fish part bird, is looking for a herd of fird. So he sets out
to find a herd of fird. Along the way, he meets many two-feature
creatures--whimsical animals like shamels--part sheep, part camels, and
bertles--part bear, part turtles. But no one has heard of a herd of
fird.
While Fird has no luck finding a herd of fird, he discovers
something far more important. He learns that he can be whatever he
wants to be, without looking anywhere outside himself.

Amazon Review:
"I am so excited this book has been republished! It was pivotal in my childhood. I carried it around until the binding literally fell apart."
It's Snyder Spider's birthday. But is he the only one who remembered? Where are the eight shiny new red tennis shoes he was expecting from his best friend Fird? Feeling forgotten, Snyder runs off into the forest where he meets a charming new friend, Snig (part snail—part pig). Together they share incredible, exciting adventures before being whisked back home with the aid of a magic cape. And Snyder finds he is in store for the biggest surprise party ever in the world of two-feature creatures!
Othello Bach's sequel to her popular WHOEVER HEARD OF A FIRD? is as humorous and gentle as her first book. Every child who hasn't already fallen in love with these endearing two-feature creatures will certainly be under their spell by the time the book is finished. Snyder Spider is ready to make himself at home in the hearts of young readers everywhere.
