What a useful book! It has great drawings of tons of common birds, and by giving words to their songs, ensures that you have at least a fighting chance of guessing what kind of bird that might be, next time you hear a bird's song when you're out for a walk in the woods. If you'd like to get your child interested in nature, this is a great starting point.
