Review
“Matheson takes readers on a tranquil counting and bird-watching expedition. ...Airy watercolors featuring light strokes and pale skies give the spreads a feeling of openness. ...Matheson urges readers to observe the natural world with wide-open senses.” — Publishers Weekly
“From 10 black-capped chickadees to a single great horned owl, a countdown seek-and-find presents common birds. . . .It requires significant patience and persistence to find them all; the reward is a special surprise. . . .Fun and surprisingly successful as an invitation to look closely at the natural world.” — Kirkus Reviews
“Inviting. . .provides practice in visual discrimination, as well as fun for fans of seek-and-find pictures. . . .An absorbing picture book.” — ALA Booklist
“Urging children to look carefully, Matheson’s watercolor and collage illustrations uses a soft, quiet palette to marvel at the beauty of the natural world. . . .This engaging work will be useful as a nature study, a counting book, and as a fun way to promote careful observation. A peaceful look at nature for little ones.” — School Library Journal
From the Back Cover
Just outside your front door is a whole world full of treasures.
All you have to do is look for them.
They are chirping and flying and hopping all around you.
Maybe you will find ten chickadees perched in a tree.
Or maybe you will find six robins pecking in the dirt for worms.
Or three hummingbirds flitting from flower to flower.
Or even a bright red ladybug and a slimy banana slug.
There is so much to discover out in nature—and on every page of this book.
Be patient, open your eyes, and you will spot them all.

Hopefully encourages children to look at birds and nature.
We countdown from ten as we are introduced to ten lovely birds, from the itty bitty chickadee to the great owl, and must find them hidden among the plants and trees. There are a few insects to find as well!
The watercolor illustrations are beautiful and make this fun look-and-find extra life-like. Could you spot all ten black-capped chickadees in the blackberry bushes and in the trees? Most of the birds blend easily into their natural surroundings which makes this a nice little challenge but it wasn't too difficult for my four-year-old.
There's also educational information at the end of the book about bird-watching - or 'birding' - and extra information about the ten birds it features!
