Thank you Free Spirit Publishing and NetGalley for the digital ARC.

Perfect for very young children to be introduced to birds and nature. I loved the simplicity of the story. Great illustrations. The note to caregivers at the end is very helpful by giving more information.

I received an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.

I found this book to be solid in terms of encouraging an interest regarding the nature that surrounds us even if someone doesn't live in a rural area. It's important, especially these days, that we protect nature as much as possible and this is a good way to get children to engage with it. The art is really beautiful and the word play is a lot of fun. It's definitely a book I'd give or recommend to anyone with children. I will say that I do wish there were more words on some of the pages where there weren't any to teach more about birds in an urban area and how to like protect them(ie not disturbing their nests) or info in the back part on who to call(ie if you have to move a nest), but I also recognize that for little readers there can be too many words as well and that can be overwhelming. Otherwise, a great book to consider picking up for your little ones or to gift to friends/family with little ones.

This was such a cute book, with great illustrations!! I must say though, the font threw me off a bit. But I did love the information at the end of the book, I thought that it was a great addition!

I really enjoyed this educational book for children about birds and how they communicate. My three year old loves birds, so this book was right up his alley. I would highly recommend this book to anyone who loves beautifully illustrated books that teach about nature.

Thank you to Netgalley and the publishers for a digital ARC of this book. Receiving the copy in no way impacted my review.

The illustrations were very cute! I liked the information in the back of the book more than the story but love the idea behind the book.

Thanks to NetGalley for the ARC!

My family and I love birds. We love bird watching and have a feeder that is stuck to our kitchen window. We also live out in the country where we see bully’s, cardinals, and yellow finches—so it was cool to see those birds in this book! And cool to see a cardinal grinning 😆

My 3yo liked the illustrations but she thought it was a really short book. I believe the book is meant for city kids who maybe don’t have as much exposure to wild animals. There’s a section in the back of the book with ideas of how to get your kids outside and interacting with nature.

The illustrations in the book are nice, though the style seems geared more towards older children or adults, while the story is definitely made for very young children. But regardless, it’s a nice book that would be a great introduction to birds for young children.

Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for providing this book

this book teaches young children about birds and the different sounds they make in a way that is both fun and educational. I also really enjoyed the illustrations in this book, and I think this book could be a book that both children and adults could read together
