So, yes, I'm a bird lover and writing a novel with birds at the heart, but really, how can you not love Busy Birdies? John Schindel has brought a cute text to totz which is paired with Steven Holt's photo-illustrations.
Aside from the first single image spread, each page holds a double image of birds in action with a rhyming couplet.
Birdie bottoms have to bring a smile to all! And then there are:
Birdies eyeing
Birdies flying
Birdy stretching
Birdy stepping
The colors zing off the page in these gorgeous photos caught by Steven.
Tricycle Press is doing a fantastic job with their contributions to the board book industry. Bravo!

I like that this is illustrated with photos! Thanks for sharing it, Lorie Ann.
The photos look great! We had fun this morning watching a long tailed tit from our kitchen window - out eating bugs after the rain last night!
