Spring for the birds
The birds begin to sing in this beautifully illustrated text, they build their nests, lay their eggs and raise their young. Children will enjoy reading about the different birds and how they care for their eggs and their babies. A lovely book to accompany learning about the changes that happen around us in spring.
