The Song of Six Birds

32 pp. | Dutton | December, 1999 | Trade ISBN 0-525-46314-3 $$15.99
(4) K-3 Illustrated by Lyn Gilbert. The flute Lindiwe's mother gives her makes a horrible noise, so Lindiwe fills it with the songs of six African birds, including a hoopoe, a hornbill, and a Paradise flycatcher. Although the rounded, black-outlined acrylic illustrations are sometimes awkward, the portraits of the birds and other small African animals are quite recognizable.
Reviewer: Anita L. Burkam
