Customer Reviews

Great for beginners

I'm interested in birdwatching but dont know the names or which birds live where so i bought this very easy to read book about birds. It's great for kids that already know how to read well and adults that would like to start learning the basics about different birds.

Fun, educational book for young children

I read this to my girls from a very young age and by age two they could identify many birds by name. It would be neat to know where all these birds live in the world. Otherwise, it's a lot of fun. How many two years olds would put a spoon backwards in their mouth and say "look mommy, I'm a spoonbill"! They have also learned about nests, what birds eat, and more. Different illustrator than the "Icky Bug" books but very nicely done. (Realistic not cartoony).

We love Jerry Pallotta Alphabet books!

My son and I absolutely love Jerry Pallotta's Alphabet books. My son is only two-years-old, and I don't think he probably understands half of what I'm reading (and sometimes I'm not even sure if I'm pronouncing the animal, machine, etc. correctly), but he still can't get enough of these books. We own all of them and could never say which is our favorite. I have learned a lot from the books, and my son picks up something new every time we read them.

A is not for Apple anymore!

Jerry Pallotta books are an exciting and unique way to learn the alphabet. No more A is for Apple Z is for Zebra! Details are perfect for my 4 year old to understand and remember. We've read as many Jerry Pallotta books as I an find.

Awesome book for all ages

This was a great book. My 2 year old loves it. It is one of her most favorite books. We get it out of the library often and now I must buy it because she doesn't like taking it back.

I learned that Kiwi birds & penguins can not fly.

I liked about the story is when I got to j.The Jacana birds have tall feet- Brianne Wade. I like the story because the Atlantic Puffins have colorful beaks -Raven Smalls.
