Birdsongs

Birdsongs

<b>The sky is quiet.</b> <BR> <BR> The yard is quiet. <BR> <BR> The creek is quietly gurgling. <BR> <BR> Then...<i>tat, tat, tat, tat, tat, tat, tat, tat, tat, tat!</i> A red-capped woodpecker starts his rap for the day. Next comes nine soft coos from the mourning doves, followed by the chipping of a flurry of sparrows. And on go the birdsongs throughout the day. <BR> <BR> Celebrate neighborhood birds in this poetic picture book, and count their sounds backward from ten to one, until all is quiet in the yard again.
