Bert the bowerbird is looking for love. He has made the most perfect bower, complete with a pretty purple flower, and is hoping it will help him to meet the bird of his dreams.

With her fine grey wings and her fine grey crest.’
One by one, the other birds fly into her tree, wanting to talk or to
play, but the Go-Away bird just shakes her head and sends them all
away. But then the dangerous Get-You bird comes along, and she soon
realizes that she might need some friends after all . . .

illustrations from the CILIP Kate Greenaway Medal-winning Catherine
Rayner. A charming story about the power of friendship from a thrilling

and the simple happiness it brings us when we open our eyes to it.
Mini is small, and Hardly is smaller - and neither of them are

adventure a little bigger than they'd bargained for. Perhaps being

'This beautiful book is one to treasure forever' David Walliams,
comedian and children's author WINNER of The Margaret Mallett Award

snow-covered rooftops on their bellies, getting faster and faster.
Partridges are SNEAKY and know just how to trick hungry foxes. And
honeyguides are HELPFUL. They help humans to find the sweetest
treat in the forest - honey. These are just some of the incredible
stories you'll read in this book. With fascinating factual detail
and playful storytelling from ornithologist Tim Birkhead and
vibrant, personality-filled illustrations from Cat Rayner, this
book captures what it's really like to be a bird.
