I Heard Said the Bird

This is a delightful book. I bought it for my 2 year old grandson who was about to become a big brother. I have continued to find all kinds of reasons to say "I heard said the bird."

Perfect for any toddler

We bought this book when we found out that we were expecting our second child. The book is full of rhymes and repetition, which is perfect for our 2-year old daughter. And most toddlers love animals...my daughter loved pointing out and naming every animal, and the sounds that they make. The illustrations are absolutely beautiful. At the end of the book, a new baby comes home. The focus of this book is not about what babies can or cannot do, but rather on the animals talking about the "new one" coming. This would be a good book for a child whether or not there was a new sibling on the way.

THE WONDER OF A NEW BABY

.The illustrations in this book are powerful but very beautiful. All the farmyard creatures are wide - eyed, with warm, welcoming friendly faces.They all know something is going on. They all have simple questions to ask. There is something mysterious happening. Their suspense and curiosity grows.The arrival of a new baby in the farmhouse is a source of wonderment and delight.

Beautiful artwork, rhyming text make this one a winner!

My 15-month-old son loves this book's barnyard animals and rhyming text about a mysterious newcomer to the farm. Is the "NEW ONE" a duckling or a piglet? Nope! Take a tour of the farm and find out for yourself with this delightful book.This has been a great book for introducing my son to the idea that there's a "NEW ONE" coming to our homestead soon. It'll also make a great gift for another little boy I know who's going to be a big brother soon.
