I had a wonderful time last year reading the book to my 3 year old granddaughter writes Smith. In this tender and fact-filled story Bird Lady is the one being taught to recognize her careless gardening practices by none other than a pair of unusually attractive and vividly colorful birds Mort and Ort Aahkamort.Sitting atop the weather-worn shed directly behind her they were talking to one another in words Bird Lady could completely understand. At first she is both startled and a bit fearful when the larger one in his gravelly voice begins to talk directly to her by saying It's a great day for pulling weeds!The lessons that follow throughout the rest of the story result in Bird Lady changing her gardening practices to help wildlife visitors in her gardens. Like the author Bird Lady has a passion for birds butterflies flowers plants and nature in general. As a result of the lessons Mort and Ort teach Bird Lady children and adults alike reading this book will learn how to help birds flowers butterflies and insects thrive as they visit their own gardens.
