Five birds - a flamingo, owl, hummingbird, albatross and pelican - are
explored through rhyme, pictures and pull-out cards to construct into 3D
figures. With two spreads dedicated to each bird, adults will be able to
read the short playful rhyme on each spread to children and look at the
bright illustrations to teach them about their habits and environment.
Children will then be able to pop out the card birds from the perforated
pages contained in a pocket at the back of the book and create 3D
figures simply by folding and adding a few dabs of glue. The inside of
the dust jacket is printed full color with a graphical representation of
the birds' environment. Children have the option of using this as a
backdrop for the birds, and there are also accessories to make and add
to the scene. This activity will help develop their motor skills and
encourage imaginative play and conversation
