Counting with these beautiful birds will be a delight. There’s one noisy cockerel to start then strutting peacocks, gliding swans and honking geese as the numbers mount up. The bold silk screens make this visually striking as well as making the counting easy and fun.
From dawn to dusk, take your young one on a delightful journey through a spring day deep in the countryside, spotting elegant swans and tiny wrens in this classic counting book, newly reissued for its 15th anniversary.
The day begins with a solitary cockerel's crow and the 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 award-winning author-illustrator Alice Melvin's signature style - are among the many familiar birds that populate the pages.
Intricately worked illustrations combine with a charming text, making this an ideal book to read aloud with children learning to count.
