[.ca] I Heard a Bluebird Sing (ISBN 159078071X)

lovely!:
A lovely set of poems for children - almost all centered on nature (birds, bugs, mammals, weather & seasons) but also some that are on pets (cats, dogs, horse) and family & friends (birthday, mother, neighbors, staying overnight). Really neat collection with simple drawings throughout

"Who tells the little deer mouse/before the year is old/that she should wear a warmer coat/to shield her from the cold?/I'm glad that someone tells her/and she does as she is told."
