In an Irish peat bog, a rattlin' (Irish slang for "wonderful") tree contains a rattlin' nest, which contains a rattlin' egg, which contains a rattlin' bird . . . all the way down to a seed of a brand-new rattlin' tree. This traditional Irish tune, sung by a traditional Irish band, invites readers to join the lively fun and discover the bog's hidden treasures!

The six members, Quince, Naymon, Tommo, Pete, Ed, and Rafferty, live on a magical island off the coast of County Clare, Ireland. It's called Glasses Island because everybody wears glasses there.
