    This book is meant for young children to identify birds they might see. I think it has a very peculiar assortment of birds – some are very difficult to see: Bald Eagle? Peregrine Falcon? It would take a pretty amazing child to be able to see and identify an American Redstart! It would be much better to create regional editions so a child could hope to see more than a few of the birds featured in this book.

    I bought “Beginning Birdwatcher’s Book with 48 Stickers” for my 5-year-old great-niece, but after going through it, I decided to present it to the Science Olympiad scholar, my 11-year-old great-niece, the big sister. In fact, she told me just yesterday that she didn’t think she would like bird study but now finds it “really interesting.” This is a milestone from a child whose own friends tell her she never shows wild emotion. (They just don’t see her at home!)

    You can see the concept made concrete on the cover (if you can see that clearly). Each of the 48 birds commonly found in backyards has a separate half-page (lengthwise) column that provides this information: a blank space for the sticker once the birder sights (sees?) the bird, its size, description of eggs, food, range, and a series of four lines on which the birder can record precise information about the sighting. Simple, easy, effective, and most significantly–memorable!

    Oh, yes, I will order two more–one for the five-year-old and one for the great-aunt. After all, she, too, is a beginning birder! I think I’ll throw in another for their brother, an already nature-lover. We mustn’t have a family feud over bird watching!

    Very good value for very little cost. Easy to follow instructions with sufficient bird information to make it educational as well as entertaining.
