The book turned out to be a very pleasant surprise.
Sometimes a few good snapshots turn into something much more and here we have a wonderful picture book for young children and preschoolers. The author's husband discovered a nest with swallows above a bakery in France and luckily had his camera ready to take utterly endearing photos.

Their story is told in simple and very suitable rhymes, which young children will love and there's exciting activity for the kids as well.
The Little Bird Lost website offers free learning resources, where children can count from 1 - 10 or train simple addition and subtraction, all with the help of the cute baby birds shown in the pictures of this book.

The story itself, offers a good starting point for discussions about sibling rivalry, bullying or sharing in general, as we see how three young siblings push the fourth into the back of the nest where it can't reach the food the parents are providing, but luckily they have none of it and make sure all their young are fed equally.

Little Bird Lost is a very suitable bedtime read and a book children will love and no matter if you are young or old, it just brings a smile to your face.
I read the story together with my preschoolers and it inspired lots of questions about birds and how they bring up their young ones and finally let to an outing with fun bird spotting activities.

A delight for young (and old) nature lovers and an excellent concept for early counting. Highly recommended.

I really enjoyed this creative story based on actual photographs of a family of birds. The rhyming text tells a lovely tale about siblings and the love of both mothers and fathers. It's a touching story made even more beautiful as it unfolds through wonderful pictures. A charming read.

Recommended!
