Here's what people are saying about Maggie McGees from the Street with the Trees. Great Christmas gift.

“It’s my two boys’ favourite book. They ask for the ‘bird book’ every night.”
“My granddaughter absolutely loves this book. Maggie McGees should be in international airports all over the country. Tourists from overseas would really appreciate the soundboard.”
“My kids looooooove Maggie McGees. Noisiest read we’ve ever had.”
“Maggie McGees has been amazing to use in my listening and spoken language lessons at Hear and Say. The kids are loving the rhyme and helping them tell the story and guess which bird is coming next by listening to their sound. A great addition to my therapy toolbox.”
“The illustrations are so vibrant. There is something exciting about the birdsong soundboard. The appeal of the first read will lead to many re-reads.”
“The book is great. Congrats!”
“What a fabulous success.”
