I Love Birds Miller, Barbara (George Washington University Washington DC USA)

Learning to identify birds when you are very young can develop into a pleasurable lifelong hobby. i love Birds is a book of colorful birds with brief descriptions for toddlers for identifying birds and encouraging their interest in them. "What is that bird, Grammy?" On a cold and sunny winter day while babysitting my grandchildren, we watched birds flocking to feeders in the yard. I identified the birds for them, and they were so interested that they brought two little stools to the window to sit on while we watched and discussed the hungry birds. That experience gave me the idea for a bird book of their very own. The "Name the Birds!" pages at the end of the book with pictures of all the birds in the book can be used as a game with children.
