The Song of Spring

Summary

In this charming book, children will delight in the sounds animals make as they come together to help a young bird find a friend.

It's spring and everywhere birds are calling out to each other. But one bird has forgotten which sound to make. He tries Woof, and meets a dog, who encourages him to try Oink, with the expected result. Moo, Hee-Haw, Baa, Meow--each successive call adds another animal friend to the page. Will the young bird find another bird friend? As young readers are introduced to each type of animal and their sounds, Hendrik Jonas's clever illustrations grow increasingly crowded. The result is a beautiful celebration of friendship that will delight young children everywhere.
