ReadItDaddy's Picture Book of the Week - Week Ending 17th May 2019: "The Big Book of Birds" by Yuval Zommer (Thames and Hudson)
In the truly fabulous "Big Book of Birds" Yuval takes us on a tour of the bird kingdom, and helps little ones answer a million and one questions they may have about our lovely feathered friends.
Why is a flamingo pink? Can a parrot talk? Is a bald eagle really bald?
This follow-up to the hugely successful The Big Book of Bugs, The Big Book of Beasts and The Big Book of the Blue answers these questions and many more.
Guiding young bird lovers into a thoroughly absorbing subject with use of brilliantly colourful illustratons, this is the sort of book that has such a wide range of appeal for many different age groups, both as something fascinating to read and learn from, and also later as a fab reference when children begin to spot bird species while out and about in the fresh air themselves.
Let's take a look inside at some of those glorious spreads!
 |
| Don't eat too many shrimps unless you want to end up beautifully pink! |
As ever with Yuval's work, we just adore all the little details he puts into every illustration and description.
 |
| You don't have to visit tropical climes to see fascinating bird species. Some can be found in your own back garden or local parks! |
 |
| We can definitely confirm that parrots are chatty little characters having just come back from staying at a hotel pretty much ruled by one! |
Sum this book up in a sentence: An absolutely perfect introductory book for little ones who want to learn more about brilliant, beautiful birds!
"The Big Book of Birds" by Yuval Zommer is out now, published by Thames and Hudson (very kindly supplied for review).
