Reviews

 

"Beginning birding at its best..."

—Kirkus

"A great way to expose children to the wonders of nature, many of which are in their own backyards.”

—School Library Journal

 

"[A] striking tribute to avian diversity..."

—Publishers Weekly

 

“When a little tyke is ready to make the animal identification leap from ‘bird’ to ‘specific bird,’ VanDerwater is ready with a rudimentary field guide.”

—Bulletin of the Center for Children’s Books

Jay is loud and bold.

Nuthatch perches upside-down.

Finch is clothed in gold."
