About this book
A barnyard falls into confusion when a pompous gander insists that every bird should speak his language. Hens, ducks and pigeons struggle to honk, while ordinary farm work suffers. A little brown hen hears a nightingale singing and begins to question the value of all this noisy instruction. Jasmine Stone Van Dresser gives the birds distinct voices in a fable about listening, useful work and the limits of a loud teacher's wisdom.
The companion story turns to an apple orchard, where a young tree worries over fruit that stays small and green. Robins nest in her branches, a chipmunk settles nearby, and cows enjoy her shade as summer passes. Her concern about ripening apples sits beside the shelter she already provides. These two short tales offer children clear scenes of animal and plant life through which to consider patience, kindness and the pressure to imitate others.
