About this title: "This book was written to supply a definite need. Its preparation was undertaken at the urgent request of booksellers and others who have felt the lack of a satisfactory medium of introduction to bird life for little children. As such, and in no sense whatever as a competitor with the many excellent books on this subject, but rather to supplement ...

"First of all, I love how the average rating for this book is 5.81. Huh? This is a book that I read aloud to my kids. It about different kinds of birds through a story format so the kids don't even know that they are learning different info about how different kinds of birds act, look, eat, etc. I learned a lot and I've never really been much of a bird watcher, but now I find myself paying more attention to them. There was also a website that I found that went along with each chaprter with full color pictures of the birds that it talks about. We only read part of the book, but will read more when we get it back from the library."
"This is a really cute and educational book. Rebecca and I learned so much together and we're both so much more excited about birds. It makes me want to landscape my yard in a more bird friendly way and make bird feeders so we can observe our bird friends more often."
"The stories in this book are lively and cute, but be aware that there are two different versions of this book: one with color illustrations and one with black-and-white. How is my daughter supposed to notice the "bright red plumage" or the "yellow body and brown head" when every single one of her pictures is either solid black or a combination of black-and-white? Not all of these birds live in our area and with these dark illustrations, it is impossible to see what these non-local birds are supposed to look like. This forces me to hunt around for pictures elsewhere, taking up valuable time that could be used for other worthwhile activities. I am extremely disappointed that I was not aware of this "minor" discrepency in the versions available and would recommend this book in its COLOR format only. It's worth the extra couple of dollars."
