An introduction to birds suitable for children and young adults. It shows covers most of the birds likely to be seen in the countryside either on a spread by themselves or as part of a habitat-based section. The black and white section covers subjects such as migration, reproduction and the anatomy of birds. There is also information on how to watch birds and how to protect them. Fold-out pages help immediate reference. The book is laminated so it can be used anywhere - in the rain or at the seaside - without the risk of spoiling it.
