Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From School Library Journal
Grade 2-4-Sketchy but adequate introductions. Bird includes many full-colored labeled drawings of different species with descriptions of their homes and habits. State birds are listed, and chapters discuss songs, banding, migration, and provide tips for beginning bird-watchers. Activities include making a milk-carton birdhouse and a plastic-bottle feeder. Plant covers groups and parts, pollination, defenses, etc. Most topics include directions for a project or activity. "Looking at lawns," for example, suggests that readers examine a small patch of grass with a magnifying glass and note the variety of plants and creatures they see. State flowers are included, as are poisonous and endangered plants. In both books, double-page chapters are accompanied by bright, decorative, and sometimes useful illustrations; both have suggestions for caring for the animal or plant life in our ecosystem.

4.0 out of 5 stars
Good Introduction,
By
This review is from: Bird Book (Starting with Nature) (Hardcover)
This is a really nice introduction to birds for young children. There is a lot of factual information and beautiful illustrations, as well as some easy projects to enhance learning. The reason this did not receive 5 stars was because the book itself says, "Ages 7 to 11." I do not think this book would be very interesting to a 10 or 11 year old, except simply to whet the appetite for more advanced learning.
