About this item

Woodpecker calls from a tree, "cuk-cuk-cuk." Starling sings, "whistle-ee-wee." But have you heard the nesting bird?In this book, we hear all the different bird calls in counterpoint to the pervasive quiet of a mama bird waiting for her eggs to hatch. Fun and informative back matter takes the shape of an interview so that readers learn more right from the birds bill. Ken Paks lively illustrations, paired with Rita Grays words, render a visual and sonorous picture book to be enjoyed by young naturalists. Now in paperback.
