Review Childrens Book: Look Up!: Bird-Watching in Your Own Backyard by Annette LeBlanc Cate

Summary-

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.

 

Review-

This is a wonderful beginner book for young birdwatchers. The pictures are colorful and artistic. The storyline is written to teach children about bird watching. I think this book would be wonderful for like 8-10 year olds. It has a long story line. There is some really good tips in it. It teaches a lot about birds and their habitats. I recommend this book to anyone who is interested in bird watching. It is very informative.
