A wickedly witty tale of wordplay and bird play. Ten fine birds were sitting in a line, When the fence got smashed, which was not a good sign, So then there were nine. Jurg Amann inventively bends words (and their spellings) to create a rollicking rhyme fit for ten silly birds. Helga Gebert's singular illustrations depict these funny birds as they disappear, then return again. AUTHOR: Jürg Amann is a Swiss author and dramatist. He has written radio plays and other works. ILLUSTRATOR: Helga Gebert has published illustrations, picture books, comics, and fairy tales. She lives in Freiburg, Germany. Ages 4-8
