National Geographic Kids Bird Guide of North America: The Best Birding Book for Kids from National Geographic's Bird Experts Description
From Booklist
Billed as a “kids’ companion” to the National Geographic Field Guide to the Birds of North America (2011), this informative title discusses more than 100 species. Each chapter presents birds from one of 10 habitats, such as “Western Backyard Birds,” “City Streets and Parks,” “Southern Swamp and Bayou,” and “Deserts.” Within the chapter, four birds are featured on individual double-page spreads that include color photos, a small painting with physical features labeled, and a range map, as well as discussions of voice, food, and habitat. Each chapter concludes with a spread introducing six more birds through small photos and text that is clearly written. From the publisher’s signature yellow used for page backgrounds and margins to the many excellent photographs, the design makes this bright and inviting. While somewhat younger children may want to start with Annette LeBlanc Cate’s Look Up! Bird-Watching in Your Own Backyard (2013), kids looking for more detail will find this an attractive guidebook. Grades 5-8. --Carolyn Phelan
