Book Details
Follow the Satin Bowerbird as he searches for the perfect welcome mat for his new home, in this delightfully colorful and action-packed nonfiction tale by award winning author Maria Gianferrari, and illustrated by comic-star Maris Wicks.
Just on the edge of the rainforest,
Between your house and the trees,
Bowerbirds collect, pillage, and steal!
They swoop through the air,
And creep around the forest floor,
Searching for pretty objects everywhere…
