Once Upon a Time a Cage
by Rodoula Pappa/Celia Chauffrey
Description
A LITTLE CAGE feels lonely because, unlike all the other cages, it’s not home to a bird. So it sets off in search of one. It meets a busy swallow, an independent sparrow, some noisy ducklings, a smug nightingale, a snooty peacock and finally a wise old owl. At the end of its journey it learns that the best way to make lasting friends is to take good care of them while respecting their freedom.
