An English folktale adaptation set in the U.S., in which Magpie patiently explains to the other birds how to build a nest but is not heeded by some impatient ones, who fly off without listening to the directions. Includes extension activities.
Young readers will be drawn in by eye-catching photographs of penguins, pelicans, parrots, and more. They will come away knowing not only the national bird of the United States, but what that bird's main food is.
