DESCRIPTION:
This was a perfect addition to our home school bird unit for our Holly G This was a perfect addition to our home school bird unit for our 1st grader/ Kindergartner. Crinkleroot books (Jim Arnosky books in general) gently introduce kids to facts about animals and the outdoors in a fun way. We recommend all the Crinkleroot books as a family. It isn't overwhelming and might be too basic for an older elementary child, but was just perfect for our younger elementary and preschool aged children.. Crinkleroot is everyone's wise grandpa Mary Beth Foster If you haven't encountered Arnosky's works about the world of nature, you're in for a treat. His books for young readers, the 'Crinkleroot' series, is simply delightful. Crinkleroot is everybody's wise, warm grandfather, who can show you a hundred secrets and mysteries in the outdoor world. There is a sense of wonder and gentleness that permeates these books.. "Five Stars" according to Linda Plansoen. Lovely story
Although the focus is on observation, information on coloration, body parts, nests, and maturation is also presented, set off in charts that Crinkleroot might have prepared himself for his young fans. His final handwritten note is a bird list that also serves as an index. . Jill Bailey's Birds (Dorling Kindersley, 1992) is another good guide for children. All the basics are covered with warmth and accuracy: how to best spot birds in the wild, how to identify them both by appearance and by song, how to attract them to yards, how to differentiate those that migrate from those that are year-round residents, and even how to use binoculars
Crinkleroot shares the excitement and rewards of birdwatching, in a beginner's guide that offers tips on identifying more than fifty birds and includes facts about bird anatomy, behavior, life cycles, and more.
