Wonderful plasticine illustrations by Barbara Reid. Realistic portraits of many types of birds, in different habitats. An attractive introduction to bird watching for preschoolers to grade 1 or 2.

A rhyming book that describes many of the different types of birds from winter birds to summer birds, farm birds to city birds, etc.

I enjoyed reading this book so much I actually read it twice. I can't wait to read it to my buddy next Wednesday--he loves birds and poetry! The rhymes were done

exceptionally well and the book had a good rhythm. The pictures are also interesting being each are clay. My only disapointment with this book is that the only penguin in the book was on the second to last page in 'a band, a flight, a flock of birds'.

This book would be great in a classroom during a poetry unit or an art unit or a science unit. There are so many different aspects the students could explore. During a read aloud session I think it would be fun to read the book first without showing the pictures and have the students draw the birds they think are being talked about. Then on each page you have them draw, refer back to them at the end to see how the kids did (or read the entire book aloud again).

The question Have you seen birds is asked and then paired with a situation of what a bird does, looks like or lives.

This book looks at birds of a feather from all over the place - birds of different sizes, birds in different places, birds doing different things. Woodland birds, night birds, farm birds and city birds - it covers them all, with 35 amazing illustrations depicting 58 different species of birds

birds?

Thirty-five plasticine-sculpted depictions of birds in a variety of settings grace the pages of this wonderful young reader book. The target audience, six to eight-year-olds [early primary grades] will find much to enjoy in each of the pictures. A whopping fifty-eight different species of birds accompany the simple rhyming text that tells about birds, how they look, what they do, how they sound. A special book for parents and children to enjoy together.

Highly recommended.
