The Cuckoo's Haiku: And Other Birding Poems

32 pp. | Candlewick | March, 2009 | Trade ISBN 978-0-7636-3049-2 $17.99
(3) 4-6 Illustrated by Stan Fellows. "The pond's still airstrip / far-off trumpets grow louder-- / one splash! two...hushed...glides..." Lyrical language, realistic watercolor and pencil illustrations, and thoughtful design capture the quiet thrills of bird watching. Facts about each bird's appearance, habits, and calls (finches: "potato-chips, potato-chips") are unobtrusively included on the spreads and in appended notes, making this an informative as well as artistic work.
