PS
A lyrical tale of a mother bird's hunt for food to feed her babies is illustrated in bright paintings saturated with color. Half-gatefolds have been added on each page, with a full-spread gatefold at the end, all of which seem superfluous and unnecessary to the enjoyment of the simple counting story. Suggestions for searching the artwork for shapes and patterns are included at the end.
