Reviews
Glorious! Will delight children and young-at-heart adults alike … What makes the book so special is the sheer joy, fun and enthusiasm Anneliese brings to her versions of common British birds.
York Press
This is said to be a book for young people but I enjoyed it a lot and at the very least it is a book that young and old could enjoy together. I found myself smiling as I read the poems. They contain a lot of the truth about the birds they celebrate, portray and introduce. This is a delightful book and one which will be enjoyed by young people of all ages.

A marvellous little book. Made me chuckle, even laugh out loud, with pleasure!
Sir John Lawton, RSPB
Hits a beautifully sweet spot, effortlessly combining very entertaining but informative poetry with lovely photographs and bite-sized but accurate facts. It is a book that adults and children alike will learn from and enjoy, and it lends itself very well to ‘dipping in’, either just for fun, or as a reference book. With trademark good humour, Anneliese brings each species to life, capturing the essence and adding sparkle and shimmer. Highly recommended!
