From start to finish this book is a wonderful read for both young and old.

The writing encapsulates you and the magical way of writing helps you identify the other wildlife and helps transports you to the this new world, making you not just the reader but part of the story.
I would give this book 1000 stars and recommend it to everyone, please start your reading journey with Algy today as I can't wait to find out what he gets up to next.
Algy is a surprisingly fluffy bird with a big heart and an amazing skill for singing songs. He has become more than a character on paper he has become a real friend.
★★★★★A surprisingly pleasant read. Recommended for adults ages 7 to 10.

A Surprisingly Fluffy Bird, kindle ebook edition
A surprisingly pleasant read. I know Algy slightly through Tumblr. He's a friendly and quite fluffy bird who is often introducing me and others on tumblr to poetry, weather, language and pictures of Scotland. I've enjoyed the tumblr pictures and mini stories, so this book length treatment was much fun. I had no trouble reading the book, and no trouble picking it up again when I had put it down. I look forward to having a grandchild or two or three to read this story to.
I first started following the adventures of Algy on Tumblr. I am very happy to see his story told. This is a very enjoyable read. I can't wait to read it to my little Zoe as she grows up.>
★★★★★'Can't you tell me if it has a happy ending? ' An intriguing adventure.

A Surprisingly Fluffy Bird, kindle ebook edition
In this first book of Algy's adventures, Jenny Chapman showcases her evoking writing style, bringing to life the characters and Scottish scenery with a story that has managed to capture the hearts of children and adults alike. I read this book to my after-school group of children ranging from ages 7 to 9, and it was successful in keeping this usually rowdy group quiet and engaged. We had pleas of, 'Can we read one more page before home time?' and spoiler requests of, 'Can't you tell me if it has a happy ending?' The adventure intrigued the children, often keeping them on the edge of their seats and prompting them to think about what might happen next. In my opinion, a wonderfully entertaining book for girls and boys of all ages.
