Gertrude McFuzz

by Dr. Seuss


"There once was a girl-bird name Gertude McFuzz
 And she had the smallest plain tail ever was.
 One droopy-droop feather. That's all that she had.
 And, oh! That one feather made Gertude so sad."

As the story begins, a young bird named Gertrude is self-conscious and overly sensitive about her single, seemingly insignificant tail feather. Her desire to alter her physical appearance grows as she adds first one, then two, then three dozen tail feathers. Ultimately left helpless by her obsession to be prettier, Gertrude (and the reader) learn a valuable lesson about accepting and believing in oneself.
