This beautifully illustrated sound guide is the perfect way to introduce both children and adults to the wonders of bird song.   Each of the 12 species covered - Morepork, kaka, Sacred Kingfisher, Grey Warbler, Silvereye, Bellbird, Tui, Fantail, Chaffinch, Song Thrush, Blackbird and Starling - has a short description explaining some fascinating facts about the bird. The reader can then press the relevant button on the side panel and a 10 second burst of the bird's song will be played via the accompanying speaker.
