In this charming collaboration between two comicwriters and a tribal artist, a tree is abandoned by a group of birds.
Then, one after the other, a posse of animals begins to climb the tree. They all have their own absurd reasons for deciding that this tree is the place to be, and the tree happily accommodates them all, even up to ten hefty elephants.
Finally there's room for no more- until the birds decide to return. With a trick ending revealed by a clever dye-cut, this absurd rhyming number book will delight children and adults alike! Ages 4 and up.
