This book takes readers outside both day and night and through the
seasons to see and hear all the sights and sounds of the birds around
us. The illustrations are fun and use the sounds of the birds to direct
the readers eye to all the cool sounds they make. Accurate scientific
information accompanies all of the fun of heading out to go bird
watching!
Every kind of bird has their very own kind of sound! Cheerful sounds,
mournful sounds, sweet sounds, weird sounds. Identification will happen
without even opening your eyes. And what fun to sing along with an owl
or any bird! John Himmelman knows those sounds well and loves to share
his enthusiasm for birds. He explains how to call birds by pishing,
gives tips on how to attract birds by feeding them, how to make your
list of birds, and more. John is the creator of The Big Sit!--an event
in which participants all over the planet choose one spot, a 17-foot
circle, to count all the birds they see and hear in 24 hours.
A perfect book for:
- parents and teachers needing homeschool materials for kindergarten (or
any grade!)
- anyone looking for singalong books for kids
- anyone looking for children's books to help instill an appreciation of
our planet!
