While looking at my grand-daughter's books with her it occurred to
me that here, at three years old, she can identify images which
bear little resemblance to the actual creatures portrayed: whale,
giraffe, ostrich, etc. At the zoo she recognizes the elephant,
tiger, giraffe, etc. Why, I wondered, do children's books have such
simplified renderings of animals? She may not be able to read the
names, but she knows a giraffe is a giraffe. Her father is an avid
birder and can barely wait to take her birding, so why not an
alphabet book with realistic pictures of birds? Thus, "The A to Z
Book of Birds: An ABC for Young Bird Lovers" - she will know her
birds before she knows her alphabet. I'm sure my grand-daughter is
not the only three-year-old genius out there. This book is designed
to be useful from age three to well beyond learning the alphabet,
when the text, informative and entertaining, will continue to teach
and the paintings a guide to identification in the field.
