LISTEN TO THE BIRDS BOOK | NOSY CROW

Press the button — hear the call. Listen to the Birds is a gorgeous sound board book from Nosy Crow, illustrated by Marion Billet, that introduces babies and toddlers to six real British garden and woodland birds. Each spread features a bold, characterful illustration of a bird in its habitat alongside a simple prompt — “Can you hear the cuckoo?” or “What noise do great tits make?” — then press the button to hear the real recorded sound.

The six birds include a blackbird on the cover, a cuckoo calling from a woodland scene with rabbits in the meadow below, and great tits around their garden nest boxes — with three more birds across the remaining pages. Marion Billet’s bold, graphic illustrations are full of warmth and wit: clean shapes, vivid colours and just enough detail to delight young eyes. The chunky square board book format is sturdy for little hands and easy to hold independently.

A lovely introduction to British birds and nature for babies and toddlers, and a perfect companion to Listen to the Farm from the same series. A wonderful gift from around 12 months. By Nosy Crow.
