Young Bud tells his story in BUD with his own lively voice rather than BUDDY. Sometimes, a tenacious, sad, flexible, and pleasant 10-year-old bird is not at all attractive. His personality, coupled with the fast pace of the story, attracted the attention of young readers on the first page and continued to rivet them until the end.
