From the publisher
Riki loves to watch the beautiful birds that visit his garden through the four seasons. He builds them a birdhouse: follow along as he measures and saws the wood, then glues, hammers, and paints it. He picks the perfect place to mount it in his yard and is excited to see what happens. When spring comes, bluebirds move in. Soon there are eggs and babies! As the seasons change, Riki finds joy in helping and learning about his feathered friends. For every budding bird-watcher, this book is as fresh and sweet as a bluebird’s song.
