Review

This is a well done non-fiction picture book for young children that explains why a bird is a bird. The information is simple, factual and makes the concepts clear. The illustrations are gouache, watercolor, and colored pencil on Fabriano hot press watercolor paper, are colorful, detailed, and accurate. Each bird is labeled and includes a wide variety of birds. Age appropriate for the intended audience. Well done and recommended.

Overall Book Score: very good
