All was silent in the wood. Suddenly, out of the green, "Love-me! Love-me! Love-me!" called the Love-Me bird. There was no answer to her call. No matter how cosy her nest and no matter how glad-ragged and preened she is, the Love-Me bird can not attract a mate. It takes a wise old owl to educate Love-Me in the ways of true love. A wonderful book that celebrates with great warmth and wit a simple truth about love. " ...the funniest, wisest and most delightful picture-book I"ve seen for ages. It"s a gem." - Amanda Craig, Independent on Sunday.
