Cover of the Book Wordy Birdy Meets Mr. Cougarpants by Tammi Sauer and illustrated by Dave Mottram
Wordy Birdy and her pals are heading on a camping trip, and our favorite chatty bird is all ready for a big night under the stars. But the friends soon find themselves in hot water when the dastardly Mr. Cougarpants stalks their campsite. Can Wordy Birdy talk them all out of this pickle? Grab your pack, grill up a s’more, and find out!

A StoryWalk® is a fun activity that engages families in literacy and getting active. Pages from a children’s book are printed and placed in displays along the sidewalk. The first book selected is "Wordy Birdy Meets Mr. Cougarpants" by Tammi Sauer and illustrated by Dave Mottram. 

The Quincy StoryWalk® would not be possible without the support of the Quincy Community. Thank you to the service clubs, businesses, and private individuals who contributed to the project.
