4.0 out of 5 stars
brief, but a good thing, August 1, 2005
This review is from: All About Your Cockatiel (All about Your Pet) (Paperback)
Brief, but not dumbed down. It is a good, fast read. It is great if you have kids and cockatiels, cohabiting.
The vocabulary and concepts are more advanced than the large print. However, reading this book together would be a great sharing and growing experience, if you have kids.
They could read it outloud, and you can explain what the words mean, such as egg binding, nutrition, clutch, minerals ... They can expand their vocabulary, and develop their sensitivity toward the needs of other living things.
The large print and concision might also benefit those who love birds, but have a hard time seeing smaller print.
Even if you have no need for the larger print and concision, it is still a useful book.
