Summary: Another excellent book by Marianne Berkes
Review: To complement "Marsh Music", "Marsh Morning" talks in a poetic form about bird songs in the marsh. This picture book combines music, poetry and "bird watching." The illustrations go fabulously with the text. The glossary explains each of the 15 birds, its physical description and its voice. The bibliography of bird books adds to its worth. A wonderful addition in many ways.
