Grandpa Hates the Bird Series
GRANDPA HATES THE BIRD: The Bird Is the Word
“I waited three months at the pet store before choosing Joseph and Maya. Well, I wasn’t going to make my home with just anyone, was I? And I certainly was not going to live alone with a grown-up. No, no, I much prefer the company of children. Children, unlike adults, know how to have a good time. They make Witches Brew out of shaving cream, root beer, and yesterday’s spaghetti. Now that’s my idea of fun!”
When Joseph and Maya show up at The Bird Is the Word pet store, Bird knows he’s finally found the perfect family. Well, almost perfect. They’ve brought Grandpa along with them.
Will Grandpa be able to convince the family that Bird has a terrible disease?
What’s Yak Yak Neck?
Does Bird play Find the Seed inside Grandpa’s mustache?
Find out the answers to these questions and more in the uproarious second short story in the Grandpa Hates the Bird series! Special Bonus Feature: Flight. Everything you wanted to know about how Bird gets around.
GRANDPA HATES THE BIRD: Bring Your Pet to School Day
“It was my favorite day of the year: Bring Your Pet to School Day. Most schools do not observe this particular holiday, which I personally believe should be made into a national event like Take Your Child to Work Day, the Fourth of July or Secretary’s Day, Super Bowl Sunday or even National Forest Products Week. There was just one dim spot in my rainbow of happiness, and it was walking next to us: Grandpa.”
It’s Bring Your Pet to School Day and Bird’s buddy Humphrey the dog has the blues. Bird does his best to cheer up his friend, but one laughing, slobbering 200-pound mastiff + one albino python dangling from the ceiling lights = twenty screaming kids and Grandpa on the run!
Which came first: Mandy the teacher or Mandy the hamster?
If you don’t have a pet, is it okay to bring in a rock instead?
Do pythons eat ferrets?
Will Bird and Grandpa play Dive Bomb Birdie?
Join Bird and Joseph for another crazy adventure in this wacky and wild third short story in the Grandpa Hates the Bird series!

There are 28 flavors of ice cream at Esposito’s Ice Cream Emporium, but only one of them is poisonous to birds: chocolate. Guess what Grandpa orders?
