5.0 out of 5 stars Love the Pictures, September 19, 2003

I bought this book when I was an education major in college. The text in this book is very simple, so it is easy for little ones to understand.

What really caught my eye were the pictures. There are paintings, drawings and photos. My favorite picture in the book is a photo of a little duckling. The camera can see above and below the water, so the picture is just awesome.

The pictures are worth it. There are different colors, different kinds of birds, different textures. I think that it is a really creative way to introduce a child to art.

The best way to encourage a child to read is to have books in the home.

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect size for baby, February 26, 2004

This book is small - about 3" square. It's the perfect size for little hands. I gave the book to my daughter at 8 months. She loves to hold it in her lap and "read" it. The thick pages are easy to turn and the book is just the right size for her to hold - many other books are too large for her to control. Each page has a different "style" of picture - a drawing, a photograph, an artistic rendering...with a simple phrase to go with each ("All birds have feathers", "This bird can swim"). This book is also a great take-along toy, you can slip it into a diaper bag or even a small purse.

This review is from: Baby Einstein: Birds (Board book)

We were so let down when we received this tiny little board book. Though most of the (6) illustrations are sweet, they are much too small to be appreciated. The text is terribly dull and silly, and the book does not "flow" at all. Our 15-month old (who LOVES both books and birds) has no interest at all in this book, and neither do we.

My advice is to avoid this book and instead go for "About Birds: A Guide for Children" by Cathryn Sill (also for sale on Amazon). Unlike this book "About Birds" has lots of beautifully illustrated pages, and interesting text that holds our toddler's interest and keeps him wanting more.
