Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal
Grade 2-4-- Crinkleroot, the folksy nature guide, has returned to introduce the pleasures of bird watching. All the basics are covered with warmth and accuracy: how to best spot birds in the wild, how to identify them both by appearance and by song, how to attract them to yards, how to differentiate those that migrate from those that are year-round residents, and even how to use binoculars. Although the focus is on observation, information on coloration, body parts, nests, and maturation is also presented, set off in charts that Crinkleroot might have prepared himself for his young fans. His final handwritten note is a bird list that also serves as an index. The picture-book format is inviting, and the pen-and-ink and watercolor art is infused with gentle humor and accurate details. Jill Bailey's Birds (Dorling Kindersley, 1992) is another good guide for children. --Susan Oliver, Tampa-Hillsborough County Public Library System

Product Description
Crinkleroot shares the excitement and rewards of birdwatching, in a beginner's guide that offers tips on identifying more than fifty birds and includes facts about bird anatomy, behavior, life cycles, and more.

5.0 out of 5 stars Crinkleroot is everyone's wise grandpa, April 8, 2000
By Mary Beth Foster (West Lafayette, IN United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
If you haven't encountered Arnosky's works about the world of nature, you're in for a treat. His books for young readers, the 'Crinkleroot' series, is simply delightful. Crinkleroot is everybody's wise, warm grandfather, who can show you a hundred secrets and mysteries in the outdoor world. There is a sense of wonder and gentleness that permeates these books.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful Illustrations - Inspiring for Young Naturalists, June 25, 2008
By Bugs Mama (Michigan) - See all my reviews
This isn't the end-all-be-all books on bird identification. But it is not trying to be. My kids enjoy the Crinkleroot series and this one did do something that none of other books did... talked about how to use binoculars to bird watch. The gnome likeness of Crinkleroot will appeal to those with an attraction to Waldorf toys (we have many gnomes and fairies around here).

The drawings are wonderful and have inspired my 5yr old son. He has used them as a reference in his nature journal.

I would put the age range on this book around 3-7.
