The Mockingbird

 Assemble a mini doll sized book: Below, is the Mocking Bird's illustration and verse. Visitors can collect all the bird illustrations and verse from "Bird Children" to print and construct a small book of verse for their dolls. Simply drag each png. into a Word Document, print, cut out all of the images the same size and staple the pages together at the left edge. Squeeze out some white school glue along the stapled edge of the pages and attach a cardboard cover.

Collect all pages-cleaned and sized to make a miniature
book for your dolls

Mocking Bird is very clever,

Uses her own notes hardly ever,

But saucily sings bits of song

Which to the other birds belong.

The Mocking-Bird by Wilde

Wit, sophist, songster, Yorick of thy tribe;

Thou sportive satirist of nature's school;

To thee the palm of scoffing we ascribe,

Arch-mocker, and Mad About of Misrule.

For such thou art by day; but all night long

Thou pour'st soft, sweet, pensive, solemn strain,

As if thou didst in this thy moonlight song

Like to the melancholy Jaques complain,

Musing on falsehood, folly, vice, and wrong,

And sighing for they motley coat again.
