National Geographic Kids Look and Learn: Birds

My twin great grand Boys love Birds like me. This book is perfect for them to learn. They both love it.

I really love nature/ animal based books using real photographs. Of course this book is beautiful because it’s national geographic. I was hoping to use this to teach my toddler the names of different birds but instead it just called each bird “red bird” blue bird”. Disappointed, but I kept it anyways because it still useful with the other facts and leaning colours and I can just say the names myself.

There is no description about the birds, they have not even mentioned their names.. how will you explain about birds to the children if you don't have the knowledge about them. Also very basic information is given about the birds.

This is a lovely board book for the youngest readers (ages 1-2), teaching the very basic colours. It would benefit greatly (benefit the intended audience) if the names of the birds were provided so that kids would learn that birdies have collective names (as opposed to personal) and that would make this book more appealing to older kids, say 4-year-olds who are into some 'serious learning' :) And for younger readers, it would be great to see individual details separately (like, a feather when feathers are mentioned). It is an adorable book, great photos of real living creatures, parents can elaborate describing the photos, but if you are having one of them days when your eloquence gone down the drain with the washing up soap, the book won't have much prompting (only a personal view).

There's are different bird board book by same company that is much better. This one doesn't even name the birds, just goes by colours. It would be good for a child who needs a very simple book. Not good for a child with a keen interest in birds.
