The Engine Series
BABY DEE
a night book of the first chirp
William Vincent Carleton
In a hollow pine lined with moss and rabbit fur, a very small bird opens its eyes and makes its first chirp. It does not yet know it is a chickadee. Baby Dee opens The Engine Series with a quiet story of growing feathers, fast heartbeats and a mother with a green caterpillar, followed by reader notes on real chickadee nestlings and the steady engine of life that 'does not hurry'.
