Welcome to Litsy!

“Look in places where you usually don't, like low, under bushes, or high up, in the top of branches of trees.“

This would be a great book for a science lesson on bird watching, which also can introduce a new hobby for the students. The way it presents its information is really interesting, especially with the use of illustrations and sequencing the book in a way that makes sense for younger readers.

This picture book serves the purpose of educating the readers on bird watching and how to get into it and keep going. It introduces the facts in a way that is interesting to kids- in an almost dialogue type of format with not only people but also with birds which can bring some humor into the book as well as keeping it very factual. It would be a great guide for higher-level students just because of how much information it presents.

“City birds aren't picky about where they live, either! Look closely and you may see a Mourning Dove nesting in an old pot on a terrace, an American Kestrel raising its babies behind a gargoyle, or sparrows and starlings taking up residence in any empty spot they can find.“

This book would be great in a 3rd grade and up classroom. It teaches students about the joys of something many would not think of doing. It shows ways to identify the birds around you and where one can do it. Students learning about categorization also can build complex thinking skills that could benefit their in class learning as well.

This nonfiction text is a great collection of informative yet silly illustrations, suggestions on how to start birdwatching, different birds one can see when birdwatching, and the things you can bring with you as you birdwatch. It allows all students to figure out how they can bird watch, even if they are from an inner city. It builds upon finding fine details to identify birds as one gets better as well. Great suggestions and tips.

This book is fun and lays out the details nicely

This book is a great introduction to the world of ornithology. It uses child friendly language and is very silly in the best way

I loved this book!
