Reviews for Encyclopedia of Birds: for Young Readers

Selected for the CBC’s 2022 August Hot Off The Press Reading List (https://www.cbcbooks.org/cbc-book-lists/august-2022/). Each of these high quality, oversized “encyclopedias” provides a wealth of information about their respective topics. While they are organized unconventionally when compared to traditional encyclopedias, their topics are appealing and very accessible for youngsters: Not all of us Fly, We Live by the Waterside, Flowering Plants, Non-Flowering Plants. Each text is filled with colorful, detailed illustrations that are filled with labels, and captions. The text is sparse, however it does the job and goes a long way toward explaining the key features or importance of each creature or the flora and fauna on each two page spread. Young botanists and ornithologists will enjoy exploring the pages and learning how to classify and identify a variety of common and unique plants and birds. ―Youth Services Book Review The writing is conversational and welcoming for young readers, but the real star of the show is the wonderful illustrations that will draw readers in and keep them turning pages. Don’t miss this one. ―Seattle Book Review
