Book Description

P and up
In nature, we often hear the sound of a bird or an animal before we can see it. Our new Hear and There Books have the same effect. After reading a short riddle, children are asked "What am I?" By pushing a color-coded button on the sound strip, they can hear the call of the bird or the animal. When they pull the tab on the right page, the animal is revealed. To find out more about the featured bird or animal, readers can lift the flap on the left-hand page for more detailed information on its habitat, its young, and its behavior. Written by a professional naturalist, these books are beautifully illustrated, fun to listen to, and filled with interesting facts!

Have you ever wondered what a certain sound was outside your window at night? As children play the calls of these nocturnal creatures, they will be fascinated to read and learn about the coyote, spring peepers, great horned owl, American toad, whippoorwill, field cricket, bullfrog, and katydid.



Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly

Youngsters can hear, see and learn which creature is singing in Frank Gallo's two new books, both illus. by Lori Lohstoeter. In Bird Calls, with one bird per spread, aspiring bird watchers can venture a guess from the clue given ("I show up in the spring/ with my reddish breast/ and like to pull worms from the ground" is the hint for robin), then push a button to hear its sound, pull a tab to see the singer and lift a flap to learn more. The bold paintings of the Black-Capped Chickadee and the Red-Winged Blackbird in their natural surroundings are standouts. A similar format offers clues to nocturnal animals in Night Sounds, which includes a coyote, a spring peeper and a great horned owl.

5.0 out of 5 stars My kids love this book!, January 31, 2002
This review is from: Bird Calls (Hear and There Books) (Hardcover)
I have three children, ages 3, 6 and 8. They all love this book! We leave it sitting on a coffee table with a view of our bird feeder, and all my children have learned to identify all of the birds in the book. My 8 year old takes the book outside and sits quietly and "calls" to the birds (and they even answer, sometimes)! This book has gotten them all interested in observing the nature they have in their own backyard. I recommend it highly.

5.0 out of 5 stars Listening to bird calls, December 31, 2003
By 
"ldowe12" (Bulverde, TX USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Bird Calls (Hear and There Books) (Hardcover)
I bought this for my 13 month old grandchild thinking I would save it until she was older. She absolutely loves the book! Each time she comes to visit she wants to listen to the calls over and over. At 15 months, she can now identify the birds by call as well as by picture and has become ever more fascinated by the birds in our yard. I know that in the next few years she will become interested in the information on the birds which my husband and I have enjoyed reading. I am ordering three more books for gifts for other grandparents to share with their youngsters.

(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Bird Calls (Hear and There Books) (Hardcover)
A parent shared this book with my son's preschool class when they were doing a lesson on birds. The kids had alot of fun trying to guess the birds based on the description and the sounds. The teacher's and myself were so impressed with this book that I came home and ordered two copies...one for the class and one for my home!! I am also planning on purchasing "Night Sounds", also written by the same author.
