A new Peterson Field Guide to 200 of the most common and
interesting birds in eastern North America, written
especially for kids ages eight to twelve. Increasingly popular among all ages, birding is an
especially popular family friendly activity. This fun and
lively guide provides just the right amount of information
for kids who have an interest in birds and want to learn
more. Each of the 200 species is described on a full page
packed with information and written in an engaging
style."Wow!" bursts contain particularly interesting facts
about each bird. Range maps are easy to read and each one
includes a key, so that small hands won't have to flip
again and again to the front or back of the book. There is
even a space for young birders to check off birds they have
spotted and the date the species was seen. Color
photographs are used for identification purposes, and black-
and-white line drawings by Julie Zickefoose illustrate
interesting behaviors or characteristics. A birder since childhood, Thompson says he would have loved
a book like this one when he was just getting interested in
birds. Now a father of two, he spent many hours over a two-
year period with his now eleven-year-old daughter's class
getting their advice on what to include in the book.
