Little Kook's Laugh doesn't feature audio in the book itself, but you can listen to the main character's calls below to help with making your loudest, proudest calls as you read aloud.

Learn to Identify Birds by Sight

The main characters in Little Kook's Laugh are iconic and recognisable, and each introduction features a gorgeous, full-page coloured illustration (by the talented Aliaga) with fun facts to share with little readers!

Learn to Identify Birds by Sound

Personally, this is our favourite part of Little Kook's Laugh, both visually and for the reading experience with our two littles, Luna and Nova. The book features a stunning two-page spread for each main character, with onomatopoeic bird calls, so you can practise them together!

Beautiful little book. I purchased for my great grandchildren as their father loves to read to them all the time and they will enjoy this, especially as they live in a country town.

A beautiful book about birds for the littlies

“Little Kook’s Laugh”, purchased for my young grandson, is a touching tome about our native Aussie birds, providing an important early insight into their individual appearances, characters and sounds. The book was very well received!!
The gorgeous tote bag and bookmark were a lovely added bonus, due to my early ordering.
Also, an added thank you, Maddi and Tim, for making it possible to obtain the book before Christmas! xx

About Maddi and Tim

We love reading to our two little munchkins - Luna and Nova. We also love birds, and are creatives at heart - writing a book just came naturally with BINKABU's evolution. We have spent the last few years writing and developing this children's book. It's our first, but hopefully not our last!

About Aliaga

We searched far and wide to find an illustrator to match our earring style and found Aliaga Mirguseinov, from Lithuania.

His charming style is the perfect balance of handmade cuteness and clean shapes that we needed to bring Little Kook's Laugh to life. Little Kook's story is defined by the bold, bright imagery of the characters and Australian landscapes.
