This book has so much to crow about!
The ABZs of Birds welcomes children into the magical world of birding, one letter—and one bird—at a time. From A to Z, each page introduces a new bird and a new story, showcasing the rich variety of North American birds across cities, coastlines, forests, marshes, and mountains.
Whether you’re reading aloud to your grandchild or watching your middle schooler get hooked on the mystery of migration, this book makes birding fun and accessible for young readers of all levels. It’s designed to be both playful for early readers and thought-provoking for curious tweens.
Alongside each story, special science pages dive into exciting topics like how birds fly, or why they sing and even what it means to be a birder. These sections invite older kids to think like scientists, create like artists, and connect with nature in their own backyards—or beyond.
And with Crow, your witty guide through the book, every page brings a laugh. Parents, grandparents, and teachers alike will enjoy passing on a love of birds, nature, and discovery.
