I heard Stephen Swinburne perform it using bongo drums during a lit festival at Keene State College in NH many years ago, and it was wonderful!<br /><br />And it gives me double pleasure as a self-proclaimed bird nerd :).<br /><br />Thanks!Maria Gianferrarihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04702731735297812779noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31122236.post-44911239232003289732016-04-07T23:23:02.563-05:002016-04-07T23:23:02.563-05:00:-) Glad this is helpful, Amy!

It's a wonderful hands on display that helps children (and adults) explore how differently shaped beaks serve different birds. I want to buy these resources here to help children extend their understandings beyond my very simple new book. Much gratitude! xoAmy LVhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16625469276544426664noreply@blogger.com
