HomeKnow That Bird
The author was driven to write this book when her grandson aged 6 wanted to know
about the birds he saw in the garden or on the beach.
The only books available were for adults or older children, with far too
much scientific detail. There some
beautiful books about black robins or yellow-eyed penguins, but what was wanted
was a child-orientated
book introducing the birds most likely to be seen around home and in the
neighbourhood.
‘Know that Bird’ is the result.
Each of the twenty-five birds is described briefly, with just enough for
the birdwatcher to be able to tell one from another, and to make them want to
know more. Elizabeth
Gabites’ paintings show the birds as you will see them, looking real in a
realistic setting. Look for
the young birdwatcher on every page. A
table at the back lists the birds in order of size, a handy guide to
recognition.
‘Know that Bird’ can be read independently by children 6
– 8, or shared with younger children.
Teachers find it a useful classroom resource, and many adults who feel
they don’t know enough about birds are enjoying the learning experience.
