Murry Burgess: Sparrow Loves Birds, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

"Amid recent efforts to diversify bird-watching, this inviting work is especially welcome. Certain to cultivate a love of nature in all who pick it up." ---Kirkus Reviews Meet Sparrow---a curious young birder eager to explore her neighborhood's surroundings---in this STEM picture book written by a professional wildlife ornithologist.

Sparrow sets out for a day of birding, where she watches, listens, and identifies the many types of birds around her through their color (red---a cardinal), song ("Cheer up! Cheer up!"---a robin), and movement (flitting backward, forward, and even upside down---a hummingbird). Using her notebook and markers, Sparrow records all the birds she sees on her walk.

This interactive STEM offering is a welcome primer for young children interested in birding close to home. The back matter features an author's note, birding tips for kids to get started, and a primer birding field guide.
