'The Bowerbird' by Julia Donaldson

Book Description


The Bowerbird is the irresistible tale of Bert - a small bird with a very big heart, from Number One bestselling Julia Donaldson and Kate Greenway Medal-winning Catherine Rayner.


Bert the bowerbird is looking for love. He has made the most perfect bower, complete with a pretty purple flower, and is hoping it will help him to meet the bird of his dreams. But when Nanette comes along, she is far from impressed. Poor Bert is hurt, and flies off to bring her presents a-plenty. But will it ever be enough, and is Nanette really right for Bert?


A beautifully illustrated treat of a book from the creators of The Go-Away Bird.




Book Review


A very sweet short story book with an important message contained. This is an absolutely fantastic story for children of all ages to help teach them that they don't have to give gifts to be special to someone. I believe it also has the hidden moral to be careful who you trust!! The story is rhyming and I had loads of fun reading it myself as a 36 year old and then my 10 year old son also enjoyed reading it. I also read it to my 5 year old twins who absolutely loved the bright and fun illustrations which were very attractive to the eye. The story was quite sweet but sad but with a lovely ending!! My heart went out to the poor bowerbird and I was so pleased by the lovely ending. I loved reading all the lists out of what he had collected and really did have lots of fun reading this book alone and to the kids!! A lovely children's book and I am looking forward to reading more children's books by this author myself and to the children!!!
