Booby and cuckoo, quetzal and coot...The palace aviary is filled with rare, exotic, and beautiful birds. But the king cannot get them to sing. Nor can his cooks, craftsmen, or jesters. Then wise, gentle Rabbi Zusya is summoned. He knows the answer and persuades the king to do what is right. A warm and musical tale with a visual feast of colorful birds. Full color.
