A Little Birdie Told Me

an enchanting picture book that will captivate toddlers with its sweet, simple narrative and delightful illustrations. Perfectly crafted for young readers … the short, simple phrases are ideal for developing early language skills, while the story’s charming flow encourages engagement between child and adult as they read together … the illustrations are equally enchanting, with a warm colour palette and featuring cute, endearing characters that add an extra layer of charm to the narrative … the combination of its catchy, repetitive text and adorable illustrations makes it an irresistible new book for small children and the young-at-heart alike

Taking the popular formula of repetition and memory games, Tarsila Krüse has lots of fun in this bright, appealing picture book … a simple but effective piece of anticipatory storytelling and full of added treats and extras. There are colourful items such as party hats or sparkling wands to count on every spread for example, while these singing, dancing birds are beautifully depicted, stylised but distinct and clearly identifiable as real birds. Their interactions with each other are lively and engaging throughout, these little birdies are real characters
