::: In any case, this is all a bit of a digression and I'd appreciate it if we could stick to the topic at hand: this ''Walter the Worm'' thing. Let's first wait for [[User:Bongolium500]] to report back with their research and inform us whether the Early Bird appeared in any earlier ''Mr. Men'' book, as that alone would render all other concerns moot and mean the instant deletion of this page. Also, I would appreciate second opinions on my inkling that "the Early Bird" might be considered a public domain character rather than a copyrightable one.

I have taken the time to research this topic (there are several YouTube videos online which read the stories). | |||
Neither [[Walter the Worm]] nor the [[Early Bird]] are named in ''[[Dr. First (novel)|Dr. First]]''. What is apparently the "Early Bird" is simply a generic bird design that has been seen in ''Mr Men'' book since their conception, and looks nothing like the later established named Early Bird from ''[[Walter the Worm (novel)|Walter the Worm]]''. For some reason the Wikia isn't letting me post images at the moment? [[User:RadMatter|RadMatter]] [[User talk:RadMatter|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 13:39, 26 May 2021 (UTC) | |||
