wren and rook ISBN 9781526360007 £12.99
A stunning illustrated book that introduces young children to many different species of bird. Valério’s collage illustrations capture the distinctive features of a range of birds including the golden eagle, the great white pelican, the osprey, the snowy owl, the great cormorant and the Atlantic puffin. Each bird has a collage created with old magazine paper, art paper, gift wrap, scissors and glue. A small amount of information is included that is easily absorbed by young children. The large format hardback enhances the illustrations. The endpapers show eggs and feathers and the book includes an introduction, glossary, index and sources for further information. An inspirational compendium of birds.
