What a delightful book! I already know that my elementary school library patrons will be flocking to read it.
The book explores three different aspects of learning about birds. It begins with exploring the facts and encompasses information presented in such an entertaining way. Next is the investigation part where activities are provided to piggyback on what was learned in the previous section. The third section, Create, allows the readers to use their vivid imaginations and further learn and relate what they have discovered about birds.
Great way to learn about a fascinating subject!
I can’t wait for this to be available so I can get a physical copy for my nephew. He loves all animals and this book will be perfect for him as it will give him cool information, things to look out for and things to make and do! It’s wonderful and this older child can’t wait to help make a bird cake.
I read this book with our kids who are 6 & 8. We love birds and enjoy watching many of our avian neighbors at our backyard feeders. This book was a great introduction to the species and covered a wild variety of topics about birds. Our kids loved learning more about baby birds, how birds fly, migration and more.
The illustrations were beautifully done and were a captivating part of this book for our young readers. We also enjoyed the mix of bird-related activities that were incorporated throughout this book. We have many more dense bird guides that we like to look at and this was a fun mix of both information and activities that were very engaging to read.
A big thank you to NetGalley and Quarto Publishing for a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
I received a .mobi copy of this book from Netgalley. Unfortunately I can't review it because the pictures were missing.
What on Earth: Birds is an adorable book packed with information for little learners! I love the pictures and I could see using this book with toddlers all the way through elementary school. I love that the book combined fun activities (like drawing a bird, making a feather mask, making a bird cake, etc.) with facts about birds (what bird babies are like, bird habitats and homes, how birds fly, etc). I will definitely using this as a science resource in my homeschool!
Wow, this is a pretty impressive book that teaches your young ones all about birds by giving facts about them in beautiful and obscure illustrations as well as some activities to get them involved. We all know that this is the best way to get your little ones to learn and this author has certainly achieved that in this terrific book. First-rate work.
