A Bird Day

""Wash your beaks, it"'s time for lunch-flies again today,"" says Dad. After lunch the young birds get sent off to play-they sing, hunt mosquitos, compare leg size and poke grubs. This is how birds spend a day. Eva Lindstroem reflects the familiar and the absurd in human behavior through this funny bird family. We all recognise the family dynamics of bickering over fried mosquitos and worm pie-only the youngest is allowed to pick out the worms. Expressive faces, hilarious hairstyles, Dad"'s great cooking, and a sister and brother"'s everyday conversation combine in a heartwarming and completely individual picture book from a unique artist with an international following.
