From School Library Journal
Grade 3-6?Focusing on birds that migrate to northern climes in the summer months, Lerner has created another lovely, informative title for budding ornithologists. As in Backyard Birds of Winter (Morrow, 1994), she combines beautiful watercolor illustrations with lucid prose. The book is divided into two sections: species that use feeders and those that use houses. The inviting pages feature colorful birds shown in actual size, maps of their summer ranges, and hints on how to lure these intriguing creatures into backyards. A fine introduction; helpful tips on feeders, houses, and appropriate foods; and a list of suggested further readings are included. Careful scholarship and beauty of design make this a first purchase.?Ellen M. Riordan, Enoch Pratt Free Library, Baltimore, MD

Gr. 4^-6. Using an oversize picture-book format, Lerner introduces a number of common birds and explains how children can attract and be good hosts to those that visit backyards during the summer months. Arresting, full-color, "to-scale" pictures of the birds, usually including both the male and female, along with thumbnail-size maps, will be excellent for identification purposes, with Lerner providing plenty of information about the birds' habits and feeding. A final chapter offers some specific tips for making feathered friends welcome, which Lerner buttresses with a helpful list of further readings. An introduction will help children focus on environmental issues. Stephanie Zvirin
