Up With Birds! by John Yeoman and Quentin Blake “In the days when birds used to walk everywhere life was very difficult indeed”

A long time ago, birds walked everywhere, generally making a nuisance of themselves Flocks of them stay at the home of Mr Fllyte and his family, getting underfoot. Mr Fflyte wonders if people should take to the air, out of the birds' way, and invents some air-bicycles. The birds are intrigued. Holding on to spare balloons they float into the sky. One overexcited sparrow lets go and gets a big surprise when he flaps his wings in panic and stays in the air! Soon every bird is flying, except the penguin who never did quite get the hang of it en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quentin_Blake at thelowry.com
