Birdsong by Audrey Wood, illustrations by Robert Florczak 1997
The songs of birds help us identify them in the wild, and help them communicate with each other. Each of the birds represented in this book provide background music for a child or children who are immersed in the landscape. Each double-page spread represents a different location in the United States. The common call for each bird is included in the text.
Florczak's artwork offers a panorama of the bird's habitat. The stylized borders are reminiscent of Victorian design, and depict the state flower of the area shown.
This is a gentle, yet beautiful reminder of the bird's in each region of America.
"A bird does not sing because it has an answer. It sings because it has a song." -Chinese Proverb
