When a pesky tumbleweed drops in for lunch one day, hilarity ensues. In this zany retelling of the popular folk tune “The Cat Came Back” what starts as a small problem grows into a giant conundrum as one tumbleweed turns into ten, then twenty, then thousands. Granny and her two grandchildren do their best to rid their farm of the scratchy menaces, but the harder they try, the more the tumbleweeds take over.

Dawn moves through three phases, each one represented by different bird species awakening with their unique songs. Robins warble first during Astronomical Dawn when the sun is still 18% below the horizon. This is followed by Nautical Dawn (12% below the horizon), heralded by the song of a chickadee. Finally, a towhee serenades the arrival of Civic Dawn, when the sun is 6% below the horizon and objects can be clearly seen, and on it goes as other birds join the chorus. This poetic book about songbirds describes the unique voices of thirteen common species, and helpful back matter provides further information on how and why birds sing the way they do.
