Customer Reviews

This is a poorly published copy of the Burgess Bird book for children.

I was looking for something with the original illustrations. Even if I wasn't reading to kids I wouldn't buy this copy having looked at it.

Horrible

Poorly done copy of the book, with tiny writing and no illustrations. Very disappointed and will not let me return.

My 8yr old son loves this book!

My son does not want to stop reading this book - so much great information about different kinds of birds all from the perspective of Peter Rabbit!

Especially recommended as a read-aloud tool for parents

Thornton Burgess' stories 'interview' typical birds for kids, using these interviews to teach the basics on different common birds' appearances, behavior, eating and songs. His classic appeared in 1919 to much acclaim, and Dover's economy-minded paperwork reprint offers new generations the same introduction. The Burgess Bird Book For Children is especially recommended as a read-aloud tool for parents.
