A Beautiful picture book with lots of information about birds from all over the world, I would have liked to have seen more images and less info, as I bought it primarily for inspiration for drawing, OK I know these are supposed to be kid books but they are awesome! Great pictures and just enough text to make you want to learn more, Great choices for a beginning history reader or to start an older reader out in a new area, Every time I pick one of these up and read it I learn new things, Highly Recommended A The cover of my book doesn't look like this, And it has a CDRom with clip art,
I have a love/hate relationship with the Eyewitness books, I love all the interesting and informative pictures, I hate the busyness of it all, I also don't appreciate how they try to throw evolution into everything,
We checked this out just to look through, I put it in the book basket and they browsed through it several times, I didn't want to read the variousmillion snippets of information together, but I did answer any questions they had,
The pictures are all photographs and are very well done, You can learn a lot just by looking at them,
I never use these books as our main source of information because you only get a small blurb about each thing and I don't feel it's enough.
But for pictures and/or browsing they work well, Birds besides owls make pellets! I had no idea, Also, baby birds can be really, really ugly, I knew that, but these pictures make it crystal clear, Fullcolor photos. "Each spread is composed of fullcolor photos, sketches,
and explanatory text covering the anatomy, behavior, and adaptations of birds
and presented in a visually appealing manner that compels further page turning.
The author leads us through all that is fascinating in our study of birds at a
level of writing suitable for younger readers, A fine addition to school
libraries at all levels, "starred "Science Books amp Films,
" This is a great introduction to all aspects of birds for the beginner interested in birds, Although it's created for juveniles, the information is detailed and was mostly new to me,
I read all of it, but it is more set up for browsing for whatever is most fascinating to you, I love it! This book was pretty good for a bird book, I don't normally read books about them, but I liked how this one showed how birds hatch and their nests, etc, This book talk about how birds live, how can they build houses I learned many things about birds in this book DISCOVER THE FASCINATING WORLD OF BIRDS THEIR NATURAL HISTORY, BEHAVIOR AND SECRET LIVES.
