[Janell's Kids · Rating 5 out of 5]

I'm not sure why, but my oldest LOVED this book. She hasn't been so much into non fiction until lately, and this has been one of her favorites. We read it every day for a while and both of us learned lots of interesting things about eagles. This book has the perfect mix of text and photos for her (5 1/2 years old); I can't wait to try out other books in this wildlife series.

Illustrated with great details about the different types of birds, this book will grab children's attention and keep them engaged. With fun interesting facts this book would be a great resource for a lesson on animals.
