This is a true story about Margarete, a grandmother, who raises a baby bird after several attempts to put it back in its nest. Rather than let it die, she feeds it and puts it in a rat cage to keep it safe from her cats. When she returns from an errand, she finds the bird in the middle of the floor. Her cats were situated around it as if babysitting. Arnie, the darling starling learns to talk and becomes an unexpected companion to Margarete.
This story is full of human and human-like compassion and warmth. It is something children and adults would enjoy. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and plan to read the next book "Arnie And The House Full of Company".
