I heard a Bird by Rob Ramsden

Experience the sights and sounds of a garden in this final title from IN THE GARDEN, a series to introduce very young children to the natural world.

I heard a bird. I breathed in – listening.

I heard my breathing, my heart beating . . .

A little girl hears a bird which is frightened away by some cats fighting. As she searches for her bird, she encounters many other intriguing animals and insects. Then, after sitting down to listen to and enjoy the sounds of nature all around, suddenly her bird comes back!

Full of rhyme and rhythm, this is a lovely text to read aloud, with bright and glowing illustrations.
