In The News
"How select birds wake up, make nests or bowers, lay and tend eggs, fly, chow down, and end the day... A bright, brisk addition to the murmuration of bird books." --Kirkus
"There are lots of really interesting short stories and loads of pictures, which also made it easier to read. It is set over a whole day, and you find out lots of facts about birds. Some birds are really funny, like the flamingos who march back and forth like the guards at Buckingham Palace." --WILD WORLD magazine
