5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent compendium for the seasoned veteran and the novice, April 14, 1998

This review is from: A Little Bird Told Me So: Birds in Mythology and History (Paperback)

The enthusiasm of EH Stickney's writing is infectious. Her book is extremely readable, and is sure to put many a smile on your face as you peruse her entries on the common and not-so-common of our feathered friends. "A Little Bird" is an excellent compendium of fact and folklore that readily distills for the reader those tidbits that are likely to be of most interest. While packed with information, it is not a book that will bog you down. It opened new windows for me (someone who's been interested in birds all his life), but it also would be an excellent way to introduce inquisitive young minds to the world of ornithology. I recommend it highly.

Loaded with interesting and unusual information about birds, this is a wonderful book for busy birders. It can be read from beginning to end (A to Z) or opened to any page; read for two minutes or an hour; and you will never lose your place! It will make a wonderful gift for your bird watching friends.

This is a very interesting book. It is full of knowledge and this knowledge is quite expertly presented. On the first look it may appear that this book is not for everyone but, trust me, we all can use this information. I had such fun reading it and you would, I know.
