Illustrated by
Kate Endle.
A cardinal's morning birdcall--"Par-ty! Par-ty! Par-ty!"--prompts Kate to rush outside in search of a celebration. Indeed, she finds a "birthday party for ducklings!" Spare cut-paper collage illustrations feature ten common birds. In the accessible text, bold font marks various birdcalls: "The meadowlark bursts out, 'Party is ne-ar! Party is ne-ar!'" Additional details about the birds and their sounds are appended. Reading list, websites. Glos.
