About the Book



Youngsters can count backward from 10 as they search for hidden birds (and insects and animals) in this seek-and-find picture book. Full color.



Book Synopsis



From the author of the acclaimed Tap the Magic Tree!

Search for hidden birds and count them, too, in this seek-and-find picture book with a satisfying surprise. Delicate artwork, a focus on counting, and an engaging treasure hunt will entice fans of Janell Cannon's Stellaluna and Steve Light's Have You Seen My Dragon?

There are treasures hiding in the trees! Can you find them? From the author of the acclaimed and bestselling Tap the Magic Tree, this stunning picture book merges basic math concepts with elements of a treasure hunt.

With different species of birds and other forest animals hiding in the trees and bushes, there is something new to discover on every page. Patience is rewarded as readers learn to count backward from ten, meet new birds, and learn about the diverse ecosystem of the forest. Beautiful watercolor-and-collage art, a playful counting text, and a search-and-find theme will inspire children and parents to return to Bird Watch again and again.

And for curious young birders, a page of information about bird-watching and the different birds that appear in the book is included.



From the Back Cover



Just outside your front door is a whole world full of treasures.

All you have to do is look for them.

They are chirping and flying and hopping all around you.

Maybe you will find ten chickadees perched in a tree.

Or maybe you will find six robins pecking in the dirt for worms.

Or three hummingbirds flitting from flower to flower.

Or even a bright red ladybug and a slimy banana slug.

There is so much to discover out in nature--and on every page of this book.

Be patient, open your eyes, and you will spot them all.
