Grandson loves it,
This review is from: Wild About Minnesota Birds: A Youth's Guide to the Birds of Minnesota (Paperback)
I bought two copies of this book intending to give them to my siblings who live in Minnesota. One copy never left my home because my three-year-old grandson loves it. He's too young to read, but he often grabs it for reading time instead of Dr. Seuss. He's learned the names of most of the birds, and each time we look at it with him, he asks new questions. He knows that we can find what sounds the birds make, what they eat, how big they are, etc. The pictures are page-size beautiful photographs, not just drawings. The format is colorful, easy to use, and geared for young people (but our interest age ranges from 3 to 60!). Warning: you may find yourself investing in bird feeders.

This review is from: Wild About Minnesota Birds: A Youth's Guide to the Birds of Minnesota (Paperback)
I bought this book for my son, but I spend as much time delving into it as he does, and it is one of the books he has taken to carrying with him on road-trips. It is subtitled "A Youth's Guide to Birds of Minnesota", but if you are an "adult," don't let that stop you from reading this book. I happen to like a generous helping of pictures with my facts, and I enjoy reading information presented to me in a format with colorful graphics and sidebars. This book provides all of that while offering up a healthy dose of bird info - the birds' common and scientific names, size, markings, general meanings of calls, natural history, habitat, diet, life cycles, time of activity, migration, nesting, flight and movement specifics, locations, and fun or gross (yet always interesting) facts. We also have the NAS Field Guide to Birds (Eastern) which also has beautiful pictures and lots of info, but "Wild About Minnesota Birds" is the one we run for first.

Taking kids seriously,
This review is from: Wild About Minnesota Birds: A Youth's Guide to the Birds of Minnesota (Paperback)
We checked this out from the library, but will be owning our own copy soon. I was so impressed with the layout and format of the book - a colorful, picture-filled book with just the right amount of info for each species. It's just right for both kids and grownups. I like to see scientific books that take children and their interests seriously: the pictures and fun facts are great for learning, and it's not dumbed down at all. This will be the only birding guide we'll need for many years.
