My two year old loves this book. She also loves another Scott Beck Book entitled "A Mud Pie for Mother" which I bought used since it apparently is not in print.
Hooray for Pepito!!

My two boys have enjoyed this book greatly since we bought it three years ago. Pepitos calm bravery in facing his fear has been a sweet lesson that we return to over and over. The brightly colored pages and lyrical text make this a book that my kids and I never tire of.

In the tradition of Are You My Mother, one of those picaresque journeys of home and identity that young children adore. Scott Beck is a gifted artist and his books are treasures.
We love Pepito

What a great book. The poor little bird is scared to fly, but not afraid to try numerous other things. An enchanting story, very nicely illustrated, and a good lesson. Sometimes we need other people to tell us that we are brave enough to try the things we are scared of. My 2 and 1/2 year old loves the story, and we enjoy reading it to her...over & over again.
An Endearing Little Character
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 23 years ago
In a beautifully illustrated book, Scott Beck has created an endearing character with a great big fear. Rather than worrying about it, Pepito works his way around his fear never realizing the true bravery that involves. All children will enjoy watching this little bird solve his problem. The drawings are adorable, the text sweetly simple, and the story easy enough for even the youngest to understand. It is a quick, happy book- perfect for when a child crawls upon your lap and asks you to read him a story.
