"Some birds float.
American White Pelican.
Other birds wade.
Great Blue Heron."
I don't often include board books in posts. That is not to say they don't have importance in the reading lives of our smallest children. I should make room for them. They make awesome gifts for a family welcoming a new little one, or for any toddler showing an interest in books.
The birds in this lively new book are indeed busy. They fly, strut, paddle, perch, wade, sing, and even hum. In showing these mostly familiar birds, the author introduces new vocabulary for babies as they listen, touch and perhaps, chew on such sturdy must-haves for the very early years.
The collage illustrations are exceptional ... colorful, detailed, appealing for those who read and those who listen.
