They usually frolic in flocks, scolding vociferously, always eager to investigate their surroundings - sparrows are just like children, and maybe that is why children love these cheeky birds so much! This beautifully illustrated picture book takes us on a guided tour of the life of the sparrows thoughout the year.

A bright twitter, a dashing sample of aviational prowess - here they are: The swallows have come back from their winter quarters! Let's watch them build a new nest in the cowshed, see how the female lays eggs from which the young will hatch soon after. We can watch them grow and witness their first attempts at flying.

If you can hear a hammering noise in the woods it means that it is not far away. It is the beautiful woodpecker, with its distinctly black, red and white feathers!

In this delicate informative picture book we fly along with this skillful builder during a whole year while learning about the environment where it lives.
