5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent supplement for study on Birds, August 4, 2011

This review is from: Breathtaking Birds (Marvels of Creation) (Hardcover)

A few weeks ago I received the book Breathtaking Birds (part of the Marvels of Creation series) from New Leaf Press. This book is the perfect size for children to hold and look at themselves. My daughter has carried it all around the house and flipped through it over and over again. I'm pretty sure she's taken it to bed with her as well. It's the gorgeous full color photographs of the birds that have captured her attention.

The book begins with an introduction and ends with a section on Intelligent Design. In between the reader learns about 30 different birds. Each bird has a two page spread. The left hand page is a full page photo of the bird. The right hand page contains several paragraphs of engaging text. Also included on the right hand page is a short "Fact Box".

I love this book! I love flipping through the pages and seeing the photos. There is just enough information in the text to satisfy my daughter and yet on the other hand it merely whets my appetite and inspires me to want to learn more about these amazing creatures. Though we've been just reading through the book for fun, I plan on using it as part of our science program while studying birds and flying creatures!

This review is from: Breathtaking Birds (Marvels of Creation) (Hardcover)

A couple of weeks ago I received a book in the mail called Marvels of Creation, Breathtaking Birds.

This is a beautiful, glossy, hardcover book written by Buddy and Kay Davis.

This book is different from your usual animal/nature book because it was created to glorify God as well as teach you about Gods creation...Birds.

The introduction is so amazing. It actually gives you Bible verses, and scientific evidence to refute evolution.

Your child will go into this book knowing that these birds are God's creations.

Your child will learn about 30 different birds such as the Arctic Tern, the Ruby-Throated Hummingbird, the Emperor Penguin, the Great Blue Heron, and many others.

Each description is one full page accompanied by a full page picture. The pictures are really nice.

There is a section in the back of the book called Intelligent Design which goes into the scientific details of how a bird is made, the different parts of a bird, the bird's circulatory system, etc.

This is a great book to have on your shelf to teach your children about birds.

It teaches your child that God created the birds, and it has the scientific details to make it very educational.

It would be great for a unit study.

I absolutely recommend this book.

I did some research and there are more books in this series! YAY! I will be collecting this series, and getting rid of some of my other nature books that do not acknowledge God as their creator.

I love this series!

So, if you are looking for a book/series that will teach your children about nature in a biblical way, this is the book/series for you.

This review is from: Breathtaking Birds (Marvels of Creation) (Hardcover)

By Buddy and Kay Davis (Master Books, 2005)

God created numerous different types of birds, as He stated in the Bible, and learning more about these amazing creatures is pure enjoyment! This book flaps your educational level of birds as you soar through the pages, pecking at the knowledge, while chirping with delight and awe.

Containing thirty-one different types of beautiful birds, this book delves into great detail of the intrinsic design of their creation, such as where their native location is, weight, length, life span, special design feature, and additional fascinating information. The birds encompassed in this book entail: Artic Tern, Common Raven, Emperor Penguin, Great Blue Heron, Greater Flamingo, Laughing Kookaburra, and many more.

Bible verses are seeded throughout this book, which work to remind you that God created the birds and the significance that birds had in the Bible. The pictures in this book are mesmerizing and worthy of being torn out of the book, framed, and hung on the wall.

There is a section at the back of this book that discusses the overall design of birds with vivid illustrations of a bird skeleton and parts of a bird. Bound in a durable hardcover, this book would make an excellent educational tool for children and adults; this book would make a great gift too!
