DESCRIPTION:
"Five Stars" according to Amazon Customer. AWESOME BOOK - A "MUST HAVE" FOR ANY BIRD LOVER.. "Excellent - and not a field guide" according to Carey. My nine-year-old son loves this book so much, I'm looking for another like it. According to Amazon, I bought this book a year ago -- and he has been reading it non-stop since. He's now asked me for a new book similar in style: a large, full of information, sink his teeth into book to read repeatedly. I see many field guides (which we have), but I'm not seeing others like this one. If anyone can recommend a huge "bible" of birds -- birds from anywhere in the world -- please reply!. "Great Bird book" according to Marcia Brady. I love this book!It has lots of interesting pictures and information.
