description: Swans, swallows, peacocks, geese, and starlings appear in this charming story that leads children through a spring day from dawn to dusk. Deep in the countryside, the day begins with with a solitary cockerel’s crow, sunlight falling on two lovebirds in a cage, and three china ducks on a wall. Magpies, chicken, and many more familiar birds are lovingly portrayed in Alice Melvin’s intricate signature style, while a rhyming text makes this an ideal book to read aloud with children learning to count.
