The dead bird (Newly illustrated edition)

A New York Times Best Illustrated Book of 2016! This heartwarming classic picture book by beloved children's book author Margaret Wise Brown is beautifully reillustrated for a contemporary audience by the critically acclaimed, award-winning illustrator Christian Robinson. One day, the children find a bird lying on its side with its eyes closed and no heartbeat.

They are very sorry, so they decide to say good-bye.

In the park, they dig a hole for the bird and cover it with warm sweet-ferns and flowers.

Finally, they sing sweet songs to send the little bird on its way.
