Life was peaceful on the small Philippine island of Luzon. The men fished, the women cooked, the children played games, and the birds sang. Everyone knew it was time for bed when they heard the birds' good-night song.
Then Tuko arrived. Tuko, the gecko, bellowed his name five times every time he ateโday or night. Everyone was miserable from lack of sleep. That is, until Haribon the eagle devised a plan to trick Tuko into leaving for good.
Tuko and the Birdsย is a 2009 Bank Street - Best Children's Book of the Year. Purchase this book here.
