When ten little birds get together, it's a feathered festival! The party would last forever if none of the ten friends were so easily distracted. One by one, each little bird finds something new to do. Some see other animals to play with. Some get hungry, and one stinky bird really needs a bath. Who's going to be left in the tree at the end of the party? A spotted bird, a striped bird, or the one with purple polka dots? Both a fun counting story and an introduction to simple classifying, Sherry Ellis's Ten Zany Birds is an ideal read-aloud book as well as an excellent choice for developing reading skills.
