Synopsis

From the author of The Gruffalo comes the enchanting tale of a lovable bird seeking connection.

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

Readers of children’s books ages 3–5 will fall in love with this captivating bird book for kids as it follows Bert’s touching quest to win over his potential mate through creativity and persistence. Perfect for fans of The Baddies or other Julia Donaldson books, this delightful kindergarten-level reading book offers young readers a beautifully illustrated story that explores themes of self-worth and acceptance through the charming adventures of a determined bowerbird.
