Review by Booklist Review

Ward, author of I Love Dirt! (2008) and several nature-themed children's books, here compiles 52 ways for caregivers and children to discover the world of birds together. Spread among the seasons, the lovely activities are accessible and versatile for both urban and rural dwellers. From listening to a dawn chorus in the spring to creating a haven for hummingbirds in the summer, building a pumpkin feast in the fall and constructing a snowman snack in the winter, kids will immediately be engaged by these hands-on projects, active games, and observational challenges. Beyond organizing activities by season and location, Ward divides activities into the birding practices of observe, take note and take action while infusing fun facts, extension activities, and other-books suggestions for further enrichment. Ward has considered every obstacle in helping readers jump right into birding, whether they have a few minutes free or an entire day. A lifetime love of nature is contagious, a feeling Ward captures perfectly. This is sure to become a favorite of caregivers, parents, teachers, naturalists, and, of course, children.--Melissa Norstedt Copyright 2019 Booklist
