About the book

What's inside

Forty birds you might see from a kitchen window, starting with the northern cardinal, the blue jay and the American robin. Each one is drawn large, perched on a branch in thick bold outlines with wide open shapes, so the page is easy to see and easy to color. Facing every bird is a short Did You Know? fact about it, such as why a blue jay is not really blue, which turns the book into something to talk about as well as color. The book is 8.5 inches square. No design is ever printed on the back of another, so markers can only ever bleed onto a facts page. It suits birdwatchers, seniors, beginners and anyone who keeps a feeder full, and it makes an easy gift for the bird lover who already has every field guide.

Questions about
this book

Which birds are in it?
Forty North American backyard birds, beginning with the northern cardinal, the blue jay and the American robin.
What are the fact pages?
Facing every bird is a short Did You Know? fact about that species, printed in clear type in a panel of its own. They are short enough to read aloud before you start coloring.
Can I use markers?
Yes. No bird is printed on the back of another bird. The back of each design is a fact page, so the worst a marker can do is bleed onto text. A scrap sheet behind the page stops even that.
Is it a good gift for an older parent?
It was made with that in mind: large, clear birds, thick outlines, a subject most people already love, and facts that give you something to talk about together.
