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 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.

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+
