With a jacket cover beautiful enough to hang on a wall, Jenni Desmond’s illustrations are a delight. There is little wonder that she is a multiple award winning illustrator as her pictures are the crowning touch in this poetry book about birds. We experience poems about Great Gray Owls, Buntings, Chickadees, Snow Geese, and many others, with each page donning a different format to keep our readers engaged and anticipating the next page. Every poem written for each bird includes the sound/noise that the bird makes–it’s song–as interpreted by Kirsten Hall. A lovely, repetitive phrase for each bird.

This book is a lovely addition for an elementary school or children in this age bracket.
