This follow-up to the wildly popular TROUT, TROUT, TROUT: THE FISH CHANT celebrates American birds and bird diversity in general through a wild chant of their common names. Gary Locke, an extraordinary illustrator, will make you laugh. Backmatter includes fun facts about each kind of bird featured.

Bird, Bird, Bird: a Chirping Chant


Bird, Bird, Bird: a Chirping Chant illustrated by Gary Locke

ISBN 978-1-55971-978-0
A nonfiction text illustrated whimsically by Gary Locke, NorthWord Books, now T&N Publishing, October 2007.

Excerpt:

"Yellow-bellied Sapsucker, picture that!

Chachalaca, Chickadee, Chat, Chat, Chat!

Kingbird, Kingfisher, Kinglet, Kite,

Frigatebird, my word, what a sight!"

For a bird story hour, combine this with my other bird books:

If You Should Hear a Honey Guide

Vulture View

Home At Last: a Song of Migration

Secrets of Sound: Studying the Calls of Whales, Elephants, and Birds

The last one is for advanced reading but kids may enjoy excerpts and the full color photos.
