Featuring stunning photography, Mr. Blue invites children into the vibrant world of a Great Blue Heron. The story of Mr. Blue delights, engages, and educates children about his playful personality and natural habitat. Fishing in a pond, balancing on one leg, and playing hide-and-seek are just some of the activities Mr. Blue can do while spending the day at his pond. Join him on the banks of his pond as you explore the watery world of this amazing bird.

I always ask children why they think Mr. Blue carries the fish up the hill?
This allows the child to brainstorm and actually think about
what they are reading.
Mr. Blue will swallow a tiny fish at the ponds edge. However, if the fish is large, he carries it away from the pond.
Perhaps he has learned from experience that if he lets go of the fish to close to the water it will escape and swim away.
