REVIEW: What Makes a Bird a Bird?

What Makes a Bird a Bird?
Author: Andi Cann

I just love this series for young kids! As a grandma and former home-school teacher, I'm always on the lookout for educational books for children. This series combines age-appropriate science facts with great full-color photos and illustrations.

Bucky and his dog pal, Bingo are learning what makes birds special in What Makes a Bird a Bird. The book is geared toward preschool and early elementary age kids. Younger children might not understand the science facts....but the full color photos of birds would definitely keep their attention! This book uses photos, age appropriate questions and facts to help kids learn about birds. Bucky and Bingo learn that while birds share some characteristics with other types of animals there is one special thing that sets them apart -- feathers!

I love the front cover of this book! The little duck is so cute! :) Definitely eye-catching!

Other books in this series are: What Makes a Bug a Bug, What Makes a Fish a Fish and What makes a Mammal a Mammal. Great books!

This would be a fun book to read with small children before a walk outside or a trip to the zoo. Then play a game pointing out birds and non-birds! :)
