The Little Guides BIRDS .......... Molly's Reviews

Informative Read ........Highly Recommended ..... 5 stars The Little Guides: Birds is a superb choice for those who have an interest in the birds who share our world. I found the portions devoted to bird behavior, finding food and habitat are of particular use to the reader who would like to the provide birds a place to live and prosper in their own back yard. The work is a good addition to the home and personal library as well as the high school biology department library. Middle grade readers will use the edition with some guidance from parents, teachers, scout leaders and the like. Enjoyed the read, happy to recommend.

I LOVE THESE GUIDES!!!

I am completely delighted with "The Little Guides" series. The format is extremely user friendly, and each guide is packed with useful and interesting information. I enjoy reading them, but my 6 year old daughter gives them the most use. While the guides are written at an adult level, there is plenty that she can read and understand. I currently own "Sharks," "Birds," "Mammals," "Space," "Whales," and "Flowers.""Birds" contains two parts, the first covering the basics of birds, bird behavior, and bird and human interaction. Part two then gives information on about 250 different species of birds. The guide is richly illustrated and each entry contains information on the bird characteristics, feeding, reproduction, and habitat. This is a great book for car rides, having the children spot a bird and look it up in this guide. This guide is packed with useful information, and is a great resource of adults as well as children!
