<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>"In this illustrated board book, a counting exercise is built around the birth and growth of common songbirds, from one single nest to a family flapping ten wings in flight"--<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Every child learns to count from 1 to 10. But not every teaching method also doubles as a nonfiction introduction to the growth cycle of an animal! Young readers will count along from a single nest and two caring parents as three baby songbirds eat, open their eyes, test their toeholds, take time to grow flight feathers, and finally leave the nest together. Numerals accompany the text on each spread to further reinforce the counting concept and encourage association with the different forms.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Kate Riggs is a Minnesota-based editor and author of children's and young adult nonfiction books. In 2012, her book <i>Dolphins</i> was honored as the winner of the Maryland Blue Crab Young Reader Award for Transitional Nonfiction. <p/>Vancouver artist Jori van der Linde is a graduate of Emily Carr University of Art and Design. Her self-described "imaginative and whimsical imagery" is at home in children's books, pattern designs, and advertising pieces alike. This is her first book for Creative Editions.
