The sky is quiet.
The yard is quiet.
The creek is quietly gurgling.
Then...tat, tat, tat, tat, tat, tat, tat, tat, tat, tat! A red-capped
woodpecker starts his rap for the day. Next comes nine soft coos from
the mourning doves, followed by the chipping of a flurry of sparrows.
And on go the birdsongs throughout the day.
Celebrate neighborhood birds in this poetic picture book, and count
their sounds backward from ten to one, until all is quiet in the yard
again.
