From award-winning author Liz Garton Scanlon and celebrated artist
Frann Preston-Gannon comes a gorgeously illustrated, lyrical counting
book that will have young readers' imaginations taking flight.
One dark bird is perched up high, with a view of the town and a taste of
the sky. Then she's joined by two more, then three, then four. Before
long, there are hundreds of starlings dancing across the sky--and
avoiding a hunting hawk with one of the most spectacular tricks in the
animal kingdom. Then, when night comes, the starlings begin to depart,
until finally there is just one dark bird perched way up high, with a
view of the town and a taste of the sky.
