A heart-warming rhyming story about making friends and working together from the Number One bestselling Julia Donaldson, author of The Gruffalo, and Catherine Rayner, winner of the Kate Greenaway Medal for Illustration.

A beautifully illustrated book with a wonderful rhyming story about the power of friendship and teamwork, The Go-Away Bird is perfect for reading together.
