| Summary/Abstract |
The kingdom of birds argues about who is to be their king - the cleverest is the winner. This poetic retelling of a traditional tale is a feast for both the eye and the ear. Ward's brief and lyrical retelling works hand in hand with her glowing artwork to charm readers. The pen-and-ink illustrations, coloured with water colours and gouache, take full advantage of the spectacle and beauty of the avian world. Each vibrantly coloured competitor sets forth from a clean white page and often breaks through the finelined borders and margins. Includes an informative appendix that lists all of the birds that appear.
