A beautiful picture book about garden birds that will appeal to

families with young children. Rachel Lockwood's wonderful illustrations

will delight children aged from two to seven,

and will help them to discover and identify the most common birds in

their everyday surroundings. Each bird is introduced on a right-hand

page in an illustration where it is partly obscured or turned away from

the viewer. The text gives some clues and invites readers to guess the

bird's identity. The reader then turns the page to find out more.
