Synopsis
Young readers will delight in recognising the subjects of this charming story, that leads us through a spring day deep in the countryside, from dawn to dusk. The day begins with a solitary cockerel's crow and the sunlight falling on two lovebirds in a cage and three china ducks on a wall. Swans, swallows, peacocks, geese and starlings, each lovingly portrayed in Melvin's signature style, are among the many familiar birds that populate the pages. Intricately worked illustrations combine with a charming text, making this an ideal book to read aloud with children learning to count. Counting Birds, along with Big-Top Benn and Noisy Neighbours, are our first books on a newly dedicated paperback list for children's picture books. Produced with the same care and attention to detail as all of our books for children, we hope this series will make the innovative and creative artwork, for which Tate Publishing has become so well known, accessible to even wider audiences.

About the Author
Alice Melvin is one of the most highly regarded young illustrators in the UK.
From School Library Journal
Kindergarten-Grade 2—This is a charming counting book, replete with lilting text and exquisite illustrations. Beginning at dawn with one cockerel, the narration moves through the day and into the evening, counting birds from 1 to 20, and ending with a solitary barn owl slipping into the night while everyone sleeps. The text, which is composed in couplets, counts birds both inside and outside a stately country house. The narrative has a decidedly British flavor, referring to the avian pattern on the crockery for afternoon tea and brown wrens hiding in the garden shrubbery. Each description cleverly captures the character of the different birds, some commonplace, like ducks and pigeons, and others more exotic, lovebirds and peacocks. "Nineteen black rooks flock in tumbling flight, returning to roost in the darkening night." In her bright and cheerful illustrations, Melvin employs geometric designs and patterns that bring to mind the warmth and comfort of a favorite quilt. Comparable to Tasha Tudor's 1 Is One (S & S, 1988) in its quiet elegance, this beautiful counting book may be paired with Doreen Cronin's humorous Click, Clack, Splish, Splash: A Counting Adventure (S & S, 2006).—Linda L.
