a treasure!

Although the poems in this book have a common theme (birds), they are anything but "common" in their use of language and the delightful way they tickle the funnybone while imparting tidbits of knowledge about our fine, feathered friends. The art is superb and complements the poems beautifully. The book is certain to become a treasured favorite in homes, schools, and libraries everywhere.

Today at the Bluebird Cafe is a must for any library or child's bookshelf.

After a friend showed me this book I ran out and got three copies, one for each of my nieces and one to keep. The poems are short and sweet and fun to read aloud. The illustrations are fantastic. And the author really knows her birds.
