A Bird on My Hand
by Mary Bevis
illustrated by Consie Powell
The chickadees at Grandma's cabins are eager to take sunflower seeds  from Grandma's hand, but will the chickadees back home ever learn to  take seeds from a human hand? Will the child ever have the patience to  let them? A lovely story of enjoying the wild things, with suggestions  to help would-be human bird feeders. Charming and colorful illustrations  frequently show the chickadee s point of view. Other wildlife and  natural habitats are accurately portrayed and beckon the readers to  spend time enjoying their own backyards. The end of the book includes  information about chickadees that may amaze readers of all ages. Do you  know how many stamps it would take if you were to mail a chickadee? How  long chickadees live? How they survive sub-zero nights? How tiny their  eggs are?
