Ruby is an active, loud girl who learns the value of being quiet and still when bird watching in Central Park. Several pages at the end of the book give advice for becoming a birdwatcher like Ruby.

Rounding up to five stars because not only is it a fun story, it's also an important one. Lots of back matter. I love the advice "Don't let your adults get discouraged...."

plucky young girl named Ruby discovers the wild side of her city neighborhood while taking a walk in Central Park with a grown-up friend who is a bird watcher. Includes bird facts and nature walk tips.
