A grandfather shares with his grandchild the quiet wonder of birdwatching - and a wry talent for telling a tall tale."When I go birdwatching, things happen," Granddad tells little Jess. Sometimes, he says, while hes drawing pictures of the birds, they drawpictures of him. And sometimes they help him out by finding their own names in his bird book. "Birds are amazing," says Granddad, but Jess isnt so sure. So one day she goes birdwatching with Granddad to see for herself.With expressive line-and-wash drawings, Simon James captures the leafy grandeur of the outdoors and the warm, special rapport between a child and a granddad, illustrating once again the huge happiness to be found in little things.
