“You may think it’s nice, and you may think it’s weird, but beware of the man with a bird in his beard.”
So begins a ridiculous saga, a love story which includes 30+ portraits of men with beards and the birds who love them. Color in the beard strands (which are like spaghetti in many of the pictures) and the intricate feathers of the many different birds, or just enjoy the silly rhymes about a love gone wrong, due to overzealous bird care.
This book appeals to all ages, though the coloring is probably too detailed for young children.
