Follow Dog and Bird as they build a home together in this fun rhyming adventure.
Meg Fleming writes from her home outside of San Francisco, California, with her husband and kids. She loves hatching ideas, then building... and building... until they become her favourite thing: a story.
Dog and his friend, Bird, have a busy day ahead of them. Planning,
digging, hammering and sawing - there's lots of work to be done.
But can they finish their job before the sun goes down?
Jarvis' exhuberant illustrations leap off the page and perfectly
capture Dog and Bird's excitement about the day of building ahead
of them.
I read this to my own son (who like nothing better than digging in
my garden) and he loved the rhythm and rhyme of the text as well as
the antics of Dog.
I particularly enjoyed the various pieces of health and safety
guidance presented within the text. Dog has obviously had his
training - 'lift with your legs, not with your back,' anyone?
