All about birds
HOW DO BIRDS SING A DUET teaches children several different things on birds with adorable cartoon-y illustrations. It is packed with facts about birds and covers just about everything from migration habits to their behavior to what they eat. I love the layout and how fun facts are made to look like sticky notes. They’re informative and add a nice extra touch to the overall format. I feel like it also makes them easier to remember in this format because a sticky note to me is usually a reminder. Another entertaining part are the speech bubbles and how they add some humor to take away from the fact that it’s an educational book. The author talks about so many different birds that it’s nice to see some that I haven’t heard of. Some even have real photos to mix things up from the clip art style.
Final Verdict: My daughter is a huge fan of birds and had fun learning about them. It’s engaging and held her interest. I would recommend this to children aged six and up who love birds and nature. It would also make a nice addition to classes learning about birds.
