Whether enjoyed independently by children aged 5+ or shared with a grown-up for younger readers, The Best Nest Contest promises educational fun, with colourful illustrations bringing this enchanting story to life.

All was calm

in the gardens of green,

but one little song,

caused a scene,

 

It began with a twitter,

barely a sound,

but grew to a chorus,

all around.

 

“My nest is the best”,

they sang in turn,

but Bullfinch knows,

they’ve much to learn.
