New Zealand birds have such an amazing variety of sounds and movements! Dance and sing along with Kakapo and his friends in this read-aloud story about birdsong.
A playful readalong story about New Zealand bird song and movement, from award-winning author and illustrator Helen Taylor.
All the birds in the forest are singing and dancing. All except Kakapo.
Kakapo can't
coo and glide like Kereru,
chirp and twirl like Fantail,
hop and chime like Bellbird, or
whistle and waddle like Whio.
But the other birds are having so much fun that he can't help joining them -
in his own Kakapo way . . .
Thud, ching, tumble, shuffle, BOOM!
