Trade Review"Menzin pays close attention to specific birds and their cries (“Per-CHIC-o-ree!” says the goldfinch), and her spreads reproduce the birds’ defining features...Readers who live where many species visit the bird feeder may appreciate a story that incorporates familiar feathered characters. Ages 4–8."
