Poor tiny Birdie has no house. But Birdie does have friends.
Spike, Queenie, Goldie, and Fidget want to help Birdie find a house
of his own. Birdie needs a house that isn''t too tall and isn''t too
thin, that isn''t too short and isn''t too fat, and that isn''t too
wide and isn''t too narrow. Will they find a house for Birdie before
the rain falls and the wind blows? A sweet and simple story about
helping out a friend explains the math concept of capacity -- what
will fit in a container of a particular shape and size.
