City Beats: A Hip-hoppy Pigeon Poem

Pigeons are a great introduction to urban nature. This book does a remarkable thing: it brings to our attention the fact that takenforgranted pigeons, or rock doves, are beautiful birds. It also helps us to appreciate the vibrant beat of a cityfrom the eyeview of a pigeon. The text is bouncy. Kids will want to make all the screech, hiss, kerchunk, pound, and tweet city sounds. Amazing polymer clay illustrations pop right off the page and through diecut windows. Each illustration was crafted entirely from polymer clay and then photographed.
