A Child's Guide to Basic Birds was created for the parents and teachers of young children who are being exposed to nature and the world of birds for the first time. Based on the premise that children are apt to appreciate those things with which they have personal contact, the book presents 30 of the most basic and common birds found in the USA in two carefully planned groups, so that it "grows" with the child's curiosity and ability. Bold, colorful illustrations and short, clever rhymes highlight each bird's memorable features to help the children learn about their feathered neighbors, with parents and teachers reading to them when they are young, and read by the children themselves as they grow. Finally, more detailed information about the birds is included for families to learn together, and tips about building bird feeders and houses to attract the birds, are included to help the family develop a life long family hobby!
