Product Description
Counting Birds (anniversary edition)
Author: Alice Melvin
Format: Hardcover
From dawn to dusk, take your young one on a delightful journey through a spring day deep in the countryside, spotting elegant swans and tiny wrens in this classic counting book from Alice Melvin, newly reissued for its 15th anniversary.
The day begins with a solitary cockerel's crow and the sunlight falling on two lovebirds in a cage and three china ducks on a wall. Swans, swallows, peacocks, geese and starlings — each lovingly portrayed in award-winning author-illustrator Alice Melvin’s signature style — are among the many familiar birds that populate the pages.
Intricately worked illustrations combine with a charming text, making this an ideal book to read aloud with children learning to count.
Alice Melvin is a highly acclaimed artist and designer based in Edinburgh. She won BookTrust’s Best New Illustrator Award in 2011 and her book Grandma’s House was featured on CBeebies Bedtime in 2016.
