Product Description:
Easy-to-read fact-filled book helps young birdwatchers record sightings of 48 common North American birds, among them the blue jay, American crow, ruby-throated hummingbird, mourning dove, barn owl, and red-headed woodpecker. Each page includes space for sticker image of bird, plus information on size, habitat, nesting and eating habits, number and color of eggs, and range.

I bought "Beginning Birdwatcher's Book with 48 Stickers" for my 5-year-old great-niece, but after going through it, I decided to present it to the Science Olympiad scholar, my 11-year-old great-niece, the big sister. In fact, she told me just yesterday that she didn't think she would like bird study but now finds it "really interesting." This is a milestone from a child whose own friends tell her she never shows wild emotion. (They just don't see her at home!)
You can see the concept made concrete on the cover (if you can see that clearly). Each of the 48 birds commonly found in backyards has a separate half-page (lengthwise) column that provides this information: a blank space for the sticker once the birder sights (sees?) the bird, its size, description of eggs, food, range, and a series of four lines on which the birder can record precise information about the sighting. Simple, easy, effective, and most significantly--memorable!
Oh, yes, I will order two more--one for the five-year-old and one for the great-aunt. After all, she, too, is a beginning birder! I think I'll throw in another for their brother, an already nature-lover. We mustn't have a family feud over bird watching!

My 4 year old niece and her 8 year old sister were excited to start identifing birds in their neighborhood, and putting the stickers of those birds in the book. They were disapointed however, that there were no pigeon stickers, since pigeons are plentiful were they live.

Basically, this is a log for 48 birds. Kids put the stickers and date and place on the log page. I bought 3 of these for Kindergarteners who don't write, but there are the stickers.

Very good value for very little cost. Easy to follow instructions with sufficient bird information to make it educational as well as entertaining.
