Friends in the Meadow-Birds, Second Edition (Book) - 2/23/2010 5:00:29 AM
What a great book for any child! "Friends in the Meadow - Birds" has beautiful photos of birds. The author, Peggy Williams, explains the details of the various birds through a unique and adorable storyline. It explains the relationships between different types of birds and within a bird family itself. It also explains migration. But this is all done is such an interesting and low-key way that both children and adults will learn a great deal as they enjoy the book. The author accomplished this with little stories, yet the book can be used as a reference with easy look-ups on different birds. This book is bound to start any child to a life-long hobby of birding. It even includes a birding life list and page for birding notes. Originally, I thought this was for the older child, but I think even real young children will enjoy this book with the cuteness of the bird babies and the storyline for each individual bird. Start them young and they can enjoy this book for years and years.
