Aubree's Backyard Adventures

The story in this book is about a seven year old little girl named Aubree who discovers and identifies a new bird in her backyard.

She has a beautiful bedroom where she reads with her cat Mr. Bunny snuggled on her lap. There are lots of toys around her room that seem to be planning her upcoming 8th birthday party. Oh what a party her parents give her. The whole backyard is set up as a mini carnival with balloons, games and prizes. Aubree receives a very special gift from her parents. She shares it with her friends and they all have fun using them.

Aubree spots and identifies the bird [nicknamed Zippy] with lessons she learned from her father. Zippy eventually finds a Mrs. Zippy and they have a family. She watches this whole event from beginning to end sometimes with her best friend.

In the course of Zippy's budding family, Aubree goes on vacation and feeds seagulls, catches frogs and collects lake shore items to make a keepsake bottle in remembrance of her fun vacation. She also plays with her adorable and funny Mr. Bunny. She sees gnomes come to life and go through a tiny door on a pine tree and travel to their underground world.

Aubree goes on to witness Zippy come back to the same birdhouse for seven years. She realizes there are wonderful adventures to be experienced right in her own backyard.
