Reviews
There are lots of really interesting short stories and loads of pictures, which also made it easier to read. It is set over a whole day, and you find out lots of facts about birds. Some birds are really funny, like the flamingos who march back and forth like the guards at Buckingham Palace.WILD WORLD (Natural History Museum magazine)
"How select birds wake up, make nests or bowers, lay and tend eggs, fly, chow down, and end the day... A bright, brisk addition to the murmuration of bird books."Kirkus
