Description
In an exuberant display of color, Lucy Cousins invites little ones to imagine themselves as brilliant birds. Birds of all feathers flock together in a fun, rhyme-filled offering by the creator of Maisy. From the rooster's "cock-a-doodle-doo" at dawn to the owl's nighttime "tuwit, tuwoo," the cheeps and tweets of many bright and beautiful avian friends will have children eager to join in as honorary fledglings. This day in the life of birds will hold the attention of even the smallest bird-watchers, whether at storytime or just before settling into their cozy nests to sleep."

toddler/preschool (birds, actions)
punchy text with bird actions that invite the readers to wiggle and stretch along, combined with Lucy Cousins' bright, cheery illustrations make for a winning storytime share.
"Flap your wings and you can fly, higher and higher, up, up in the sky.
Hop, hop, hop!
Peck,
Now swim along and stretch up your neck. [picture of swan]"
Note that this might be too active for my packed crowds, and probably works best with older toddlers and preschoolers who are pretty good at following directions:
"..then swoop like a starling.
swoop up and down,
swoop round and round."
