A young girl watches a blue-black male bowerbird collecting twigs and other treasures to put in his bower to attract a green female bowerbird. He places a blue feather for his welcome mat. Other male bowerbirds raid his bower while he is out. The little girl lets him have blue clothespins, blue marbles and her blue socks to decorate his bower. Will he ever keep his bower intact long enough to attract a female bowerbird?

You and the Bowerbird is very informative while creating a fun and interesting story for kids. I enjoyed learning about these unique birds. The Illustrations are cute and expressive."
