About This Book
Cuckoo hatches. And all is well. But when his brothers and sisters sing out Too-too-weet Too-too-weet Cuckoo instead chirps Cuckoo and no one can understand him.
When he leaves his nest, Cuckoo still can't find anyone who speaks his language. He tries to communicate with the other animals--coomooing and buckooing and cabooing along the way--but he doesn't sound like anyone else out there Just when he thinks all is lost, Cuckoo finds an unlikely friend who understands him perfectly.
IRA Children's Book Award winner Fiona Roberton has created an utterly charming read-aloud about a little bird that will win fans over with his hilarious attempts at communication and determination to go to any length to find a friend.
