Synopsis

Springtime Birds in My Backyard combines the beautiful illustrations of David Porter with the rhythm and rhyme of Karen Kern Yarrish's lush verse. Reading this book aloud lulls both parent and child into the springtime comfort of their own backyard-a familiar space where they both can learn about the sights and sounds of the most common birds in North America.
