My Book of Birds Reviews

"An inviting combination of information and artistry that subtly encourages readers to observe and reflect on bird life." Publishers Weekly

"An artful introduction, this title is ideal for bird-watchers and animal fans." School Library Journal

"A delight to browse." Kirkus Reviews

"The collage illustrations . . . are keenly accurate in capturing the essence of each bird and the distinctive features that aid in its identification." - The Horn Book

"The stylized collage illustrations, created with old magazines, art paper, and gift wrap, are striking and beautiful . . . this volume is not an identification guide so much as an invitation to consider the fascinating diversity of the avian world by reading a bit about each species and lingering over the pictures." Booklist

". . . what really shines through My Book of Birds is the author's own interest in, and affection for, the winged creatures surely the most important factor when it comes to capturing the imagination." Quill & Quire

"Educational as well as entertaining, My Book of Birds is a treat for young bird lovers!" Midwest Book Review
