Publisher's Synopsis
Meet Rebecca Robin, pretty and plump in her red-orange blouse, Stevie Sparrow who sports a black and white collar, Caroline Cardinal, and Oliver Owl who can't help the birds find their stolen songs because he's so sleepy. "Good luck," he says, yawning. Looking just like a teaspoon of butter, Gilda Goldfinch has an idea-they must search everywhere. Molly Mockingbird, who wears a gray and white dress, offers to help her friends, but Chip Crow, who struts around in a shiny black suit, says he doesn't care about the birds' foolish songs because he can't sing. A highly unique picture book, And the Mockingbird Sang, teaches children how to identify birds and understand the true meaning of forgiveness. Young readers will enjoy seeing the birds fly over the brook, look along the fence, and peer down the farmhouse chimney in search of their missing tunes. If they manage to find them, Lila will have the happiest birthday ever!
