Overview
Riki loves to watch the beautiful birds that visit his garden through the four seasons. He builds them a birdhouse: follow along as he measures and saws the wood, then glues, hammers, and paints it. He picks the perfect place to mount it in his yard and is excited to see what happens. When spring comes, bluebirds move in. Soon there are eggs and babies! As the seasons change, Riki finds joy in helping and learning about his feathered friends. For every budding bird-watcher, this book is as fresh and sweet as a bluebird's song.

He is a diligent bird watcher who does all he can to attract and keep birds in his yard through all the seasons-from building a bluebird house and making his own bird food to putting out nest-building materials and growing sunflowers...

Backmatter includes instructions for building and installing a birdhouse, a recipe for bird-food cupcakes and information about birdbaths, feeders and bluebirds. Bird lovers with young children and aspiring bird watchers are sure to want to emulate Riki. - Kirkus Reviews
