Through the eyes of Peter Rabbit we become acquainted with a
variety of birds as they return to Peter's neighborhood in the
spring. In the context of the story about each bird, we hear about
its nesting habits, its feeding preferences, and its interactions
with other wildlife. We meet Jenny Wren, Scrapper the King-bird,
Redwing the Blackbird, and dozens more. An engaging introduction to
birds for young children.
'This beautiful book is one to treasure forever' David Walliams,
comedian and children's author WINNER of The Margaret Mallett Award
for Children's Non-Fiction 2022 Have you ever wondered what it
would be like to fly? Or to live high in the tree tops? Or perhaps
you've wondered what birds do when no one is looking? Birds have
some of the most extraordinary - and peculiar - behaviours on the
planet. Ravens love PLAYING games. In winter, they sledge down
snow-covered rooftops on their bellies, getting faster and faster.
Partridges are SNEAKY and know just how to trick hungry foxes. And
honeyguides are HELPFUL. They help humans to find the sweetest
treat in the forest - honey. These are just some of the incredible
stories you'll read in this book. With fascinating factual detail
and playful storytelling from ornithologist Tim Birkhead and
vibrant, personality-filled illustrations from Cat Rayner, this
book captures what it's really like to be a bird.
Billy Loves Birds tells the fact-filled story of a day in the life
of Billy, a budding young naturalist who is wild about birds of all
kinds! Billy encounters many different kinds of birds in his
adventures during his day at Forest School, and this book is filled
with facts about all the different species he comes across, and
some that he can only dream of seeing in the wild one day. He
studies a blue tits' nest with chicks about to fledge, spies a
kingfisher catching a worm, and shows his friend how to peck like a
woodpecker! Follow Billy as he shares his love of birds - discover
how to trumpet like a crane or laugh like a kookaburra and learn
what makes feathers fabulous or beaks extraordinary. With an
engaging and lively narrative from Jess French and fun, warm
illustrations from Duncan Beedie this book will help ignite a love
and appreciation for nature, right on our doorsteps. The Nature
Heroes series focuses on a group of friends who are passionate
about nature and the great outdoors. Each book features a different
child who has a favourite topic that they are fascinated by: Billy
Loves Birds, Bella Loves Bugs, Ava Loves Animals, and Pedro Loves
the Planet! Playful text and funny relatable illustrations make
this an accessible series, which provides an entertaining
introduction to the natural world.
Discover a magical world of nature on your doorstep. Charming
