By the creator of The Magic Rabbit. A 2014 Robert F. Sibert Honor Book
You don&;t have to own binoculars and know a bunch of fancy Latin names to watch birds! No matter where you live, they&;re in your neighborhood &; just look up.
This conversational, humorous introduction to bird-watching encourages kids to get outdoors with a sketchbook and really look around. Quirky full-color illustrations portray dozens of birds chatting about their distinctive characteristics, including color, shape, plumage, and beak and foot types, while tongue-in-cheek cartoons feature banter between birds, characters, and the reader (&;Here I am, the noble spruce grouse. In a spruce grove. Eatin&; some spruce. Yep.&;). Interactive and enjoyable tips bring an age-old hobby to new life for the next generation of bird-watchers. Back matter includes a bibliography, an index, and bird-watching tips.
