Overview
A moving story of a Regent Honeyeater who forgets his song, and how he learns it again.
The song of the regent honeyeater has been heard in the bush for many generations - but could it soon be lost forever?
Regent's father had learned the song from his father, who learned it from his father too. But with Regent's species now facing extinction, there is no one around to teach him. Regent tries to mimic the sounds of different birds but without success.
Will Regent learn his mating call before it's too late? Or will his ancient song be forgotten forever?
Reading level varies from child to child, but we recommend this book for ages 5 to 9.
