Synopsis

Both children and adults will laugh and learn while reading the illustrated adventures of Tufty as he tackles the problem of his crossed-eyes. Tufted titmice hold seeds between their toes and peck the shells off so they can eat the tasty insides. Tufty's crossed eyes make it difficult for him to see where he is pecking. Poor Tufty pecks his toes instead of the seeds. Mother Titmouse's songbird friends suggest protecting his toes with boots or sneakers but this just causes more problems for Tufty. Since he can’t protect his toes while eating seeds he tries to eat the earthworms, moths and other things that his bird friends eat. This causes Tufty even more problems! All of Tufty's difficulties are finally solved with help from Plato the owl and Mr. Crow. Tufty's experiences illustrate interesting facts about songbirds, positive social values and offer teaching opportunities for adults reading to children.
