National Geographic Kids Little Kids First Board Book: Birds - (First Board Books) by Ruth A Musgrave

About the Book

Presents an introduction to a variety of birds, with simple facts about their feathers, feet, and songs.

Book Synopsis

Bursting with vivid photos, each spread in this sturdy book features a fascinating bird,
along with super-simple facts and lively, age-appropriate language to keep babies and
toddlers--and their grown-ups--engaged.

Designed to be the stepping stone to the best-selling National Geographic Little Kids First Big
Book series, the Little Kids First Board Book series takes similar big subjects and distills them
down to the simplest nonfiction concepts for the youngest audience. Not only will readers learn
about a variety of birds, they can also find recurring shapes and patterns in the art, while adults
can keep their eyes open for occasional funny commentary from the animals. Sidebar text offers
additional learning for older siblings or those ready for more complex information.

With their square shape, bright and playful design, awesome photography, clear text, and
cues to encourage interactive learning, the Little Kids First Board Books take a fresh new
approach to excite a baby's sense of wonder and make learning about nature and science
fun.

"Bright colors and beautiful, crisp photos instantly catch the eye in this introduction to birds. Each spread highlights a common avian physical feature (feathers, wings, beak) or behavior (flying, chirping, eating) through a combination of simple text (frequently with onomatopoeia), striking illustrations, and a playful tone."--Booklist

"Vibrant close-up photographs bring readers directly into the world of birds in this introductory informational book...An ideal version of a child's first connections to the natural world."--School Library Journal
