10/10
- Illustration: Absolutely gorgeous!
- Content: Brief and fun.
-Love the aesthetic of a classic book. It's even better when you look up the birds on Wikipedia and search for them on YouTube to see them in their natural habitat.


Reading about birds, their talents, and their sense of freedom makes me wish I could fly like them....

This book is beautiful. It introduces 60 birds and shares one characteristic of the bird and how that allows it to thrive.

4.5/⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Cung cấp thông tin ngắn gọn và bổ ích về các loài chim. Hình minh hoạ siêu xinh xắn. Nhưng sẽ ổn hơn nếu để thêm tên gọi của chúng bằng tiếng anh hoặc tên khoa học. Có những loài như chim sẻ thôi nhưng có đặc tính khác nhau (sẻ ngũ sắc/ngực đốm,…) nên lúc mình tìm tên tiếng anh thì lại hơi khó, hoặc có những loài chim có tên tiếng Việt rất mỹ miều hoặc khá lạ( hoàng liên tước/ cốc mào đôi/ chim điên bụng trắng/ thuỵ hồng phương tây/ trèo cây ngực trắng,…) mà mình cũng muốn biết tên tiếng Anh là gì

A very fun and quirky way to indulge in bird facts while also getting helpful self-care tips to make your life a little easier, a little brighter, AND a little more restful. A great coffee table book🤍

This book was very aesthetically pleasing. The actual content of the book left much to be desired, but the art from John James Audubon and the overall layout and publishing was a great triumph in my opinion. I was hoping there would be a more in depth connection to the bird attributes and the "lessons" she had for each bird.
