A rhyming fairy tale adventure about the magic of nature from the Number One bestselling Julia Donaldson, author of The Gruffalo, and Catherine Rayner, winner of the Kate Greenaway Medal for Illustration.
Imagine if you could speak to birds . . . that's just what happens to one little girl when she is given a magic feather that transforms their trills and twitters into words - and she discovers that they need her help. Join her as she embarks on an amazing journey across the sea to save their nests from the queen's woodcutters.
A stunningly narrated audiobook with a wonderful rhyming tale about magic, nature and looking after our environment from the creators of The Go-Away Bird."

Julia Donaldson said "I really hope that children - and adults too - will enjoy the new story, as I know what a wonderful experience shared reading can be. I was delighted when Axel came on board, and am even more so now that I've seen the brilliant sketches he's already done for the new book."
Axel Scheffler said ". . . One day out of the blue there came a wonderfully clever and inspired new text by Julia. How does she do this? Could I decline? Of course not! As I have had to draw the odd Gruffalo and his daughter over the last 20 years, I'm not completely out of practice.""

"Sie gelten als die die 'hässlichen Fünf' der afrikanischen Wildnis: das hässliche Gnu, die scheußliche Hyäne, der kahle Geier, das borstige Warzenschwein und der bucklige Marabu. Sie singen und stapfen glücklich durch den Busch. Denn sie wissen längst, was ihre Kinder gerne rufen:
'Ihr fünf seid so schön, seid die Besten der Welt!'
