Product Description

Product Description

Apollo the Swallow and Chack the Blackbird meet in the garden as fledglings when they are both learning to fly. Apollo explains that he is practising flying to Africa - but Chack doesn't believe him. Chack tells Apollo that the blossom on his favourite tree will eventually turn into orange berries - Apollo doesn't believe him. But, with the inevitable turning of the seasons, both birds learn to believe the other - and cement their friendship forever.

4.0 out of 5 stars An enjoyable book with lots to keep you interested, 6 Oct 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: Follow the Swallow (Blue Bananas) (Paperback)
This is a pleasant story of two young birds - a swallow and a blackbird - who find aspects of each other's lives hard to believe. There is much to be learned from this book for the young reader - the habits of two British birds; information about British and African animals, and not least how two characters with very different lives can still be friends.

5.0 out of 5 stars Another Julis Donaldson classic, 1 Aug 2009
By D. Farrell "David" (England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Julia Donaldson does it time and time again with her stories - firm favorites with my children...
My adage is "you can never have too many books" and I have maintained this with my children who at 6 and 8 are now reading these stories that they have become so familier with over the years... the Gruffallo, room on the broom, Tiddler, etc... "Follow the Swallow" is now firmly on their favorites list as well - as so are many of the Julia Donaldson books.
Thank goodness I don't pay loyalties everytime a book is read in this house...!

5.0 out of 5 stars Julia Donaldson supremo
Room on the Broom is my favourite book to read at bedtime (after 10 years and 3 boys I know it off by heart, as do they...) This is good too though for older children, 6+
