COUNTING BIRDS (15TH ANNIV) (HB)

The day begins with a solitary cockerel's crow, and sunlight falling on two lovebirds in a cage and three china ducks on a wall. Swans, swallows, peacocks, geese and starlings, each lovingly portrayed in Alice Melvin's signature style, are among the many familiar birds that populate the following pages. Intricately worked illustrations combine with a charming text, making this an ideal book to read aloud with children learning to count.
