The Dead Bird (Margaret Wise Brown)

Summary: One day, children find a bird lying on its side with its eyes closed and no heartbeat.  They are very sorry, so they decide to say good-bye.  In the park, they dig a hole for the bird and cover it with warm sweet-ferns and flowers.  Finally, they sing sweet songs to send the little bird on its way.  (from amazon.com)

Where can I find it?: Lower/Middle School library, Lithgow building
