Newest Review on Amazon.com on “Friends in the Meadow-Birds”
Adorable and educational!, September 21, 2009
By Lisa A. Maddock (Shakopee, MN USA)
I really enjoyed “Friends in the Meadow: Birds” by Peggy Williams. The book was full of wonderful photos and descriptions. I have been feeding and watching birds for over twenty years and I learned new things! It was fun to learn about the different birds through the viewpoints of the bird babies who each had a cute name, personality and relationship to the others. My daughter and I name and find personality in the birds who come to our feeders, too! I love the idea of the birds playing together and having celebrations and parties. Cute! I recommend this book to parents, teachers or leaders of organizations interested in exposing kids of any age to the wonderful hobby of birding. What a win-win to be involved in! And kids, what a great book for gathering information for a report, or for your own hobby, too! The author includes some nice lists at the back of the book for keeping track of the birds you have seen and other notes. Thank you Peggy, for putting together such a sweet and educational book for kids.
Thanks Lisa for the great review and the kind words.
