The Bird in the Herd
Kathryn Apel, Renée Treml
Look! A herd of cows.
There’s a bird in the herd that stalks as it walks, eating slugs and the bugs that the herd stirred. What else can you see as you follow the cheeky bird?
Take a romp around a farm in this rhyming picture book perfect for early childhood.
Apel’s prose flows beautifully.
If I see Renée Treml’s name on any book (and there have been a few now) then I know I am picking up something special for our youngest readers that will be superbly illustrated and an engaging read.
Renée Treml’s illustrations create an adorable Australian setting and work magically with the text. As always, her animal characters beam with delight and positivity.
