Ten Little Bluebirds is a board book meant for pre-school and kindergarten. The ten little bluebirds cleverly diminish in number from ten to one with each turn of the page. The ten little bluebirds, in fact, diminish because they are cut only once and are fit into holes in page.

“Ten little bluebirds, singing in a tree.

Bright eyes, bright wings, as happy as can be.

Except for one, who wants to stay,

to sing with Mom all through the day.”

AS the reader turns the page, a new and different animal invites the little birds “Hey! Come and play. And one little bird decides to stay.” All is fine until the proofreader missed the mistake on #2 , when “Two little birds decide to stay.” Oops, only one should have stayed to complete the math concept being presented and the stories predictablity factor.

Each verse has a sentence with rhyme, but without practice, on the part of the reader, it does not stand out.

All ten birds are back with their mother at the end of the book for the end of their day.

Preschoolers will enjoy the cut-outs and counting the little birds.
