Wild About this Book August 29, 2008
This is a great bird book for beginner adults. The format is intriguing, the photographs inspiring, and the information comprehensive. It travelled to Minnesota with us on vacation, and although my 6 year old granddaughter and I had fun watching the pelican perched on a lake rock and reading about it, I also had fun researching the birds I was seeing out my cabin window. Most of these birds are also Iowa birds, so as I watch my bird feeders, I can consult the book so I know what I'm watching.
I have given these books as gifts, and they are much appreciated by adults and children. If Ms. Porter had added a chapter on how to keep the squirrels out of the bird feeders, I'd be even happier! Great book.

I bought two copies of this book intending to give them to my siblings who live in Minnesota. One copy never left my home because my three-year-old grandson loves it. He's too young to read, but he often grabs it for reading time instead of Dr. Seuss. He's learned the names of most of the birds, and each time we look at it with him, he asks new questions. He knows that we can find what sounds the birds make, what they eat, how big they are, etc. The pictures are page-size beautiful photographs, not just drawings. The format is colorful, easy to use, and geared for young people (but our interest age ranges from 3 to 60!). Warning: you may find yourself investing in bird feeders.
