Beautiful Illustrations but for which age?,
By
This review is from: The Bird Alphabet Book (Jerry Pallotta's Alphabet Books) (Paperback)
This is a wonderful book for its concept and illustrations. If it's meant to help teach the alphabet to young children (which I believe it was judging from the picture of the toddler on the last page), then some of the bird choices for letters are too complex. Examples: A is for Atlantic Puffin, N is for Northern Cardinal, W is for White-Faced Scops Owl. This is an ambitious attempt to be precise, but it is does not match the cognitive and linguistic stage of a very young child. Still, it's a nice book, especially if you want to inspire a child's curiosity about birds.

The Bird Alphabet Book, Jerry Pallotta,

This review is from: The Bird Alphabet Book (Jerry Pallotta's Alphabet Books) (Paperback)
I bought this book because one of my new students has claimed the classroom copy as her favorite book. Each day she looks for it. She has carried it for almost a month. She is about 3.5 years of age. She asked me to sit with her while she read to me. She pointed out her book was about "birds." There are three larger birds on the cover over a nest of baby birds. The "reader identified them as, "Mama, Daddy, Me. 'Mama, Daddy & me go home." The baby birds with their mouths open were identified as "baby birds". She pointed out the red and the blue (feathers) on the wings of two of the big birds. Also,she said, "Mama went to get food for the baby. Baby want snack." If you notice the feet of the birds you might understand why she said they were coming home (legs & feet were down like they were ready to land)" I think Mr. Pallotta would have enjoyed watching her. No, she was not interested in the sequence of the alphabet or the names of the birds but she was enjoying the book. I could go on with her comments and how she related to the locations, colors, perceived emotions like hunger, happiness and the bird for Jj. The "reader" looked at the picture of the bird for Jj and said, "One foot was raised (right here, pointing her finger) because the water (was) hot". The enjoyment was written all over her face as she laughed at what she said. Seeing herself as a reader is another necessary component of literacy. My eyes teared up because it was obvious someone had read and discussed what they read with her before she started preK. Her first name starts with a "R" and she recognized it and the "3 birds on her R".

Awesome book for all ages,
This review is from: The Bird Alphabet Book (Jerry Pallotta's Alphabet Books) (Paperback)
This was a great book. My 2 year old loves it. It is one of her most favorite books. We get it out of the library often and now I must buy it because she doesn't like taking it back.
