Great book. One of a huge series that helps kids learn about the world around them when it comes to eggs and chicks of various birds, with interesting facts and pictures. Internet links lead you to videos and other activities.

There was a Tailor Bird. I liked it because it sews its nest!

The Usborne Beginners series has proven to be at a perfect level for my 5-year-old son, and this selection was no exception. The text-to-picture ratio is just right for his attention span, and the information is engaging. This volume covers topics such as unusual nests, what’s going on inside an egg, and a baby bird’s first flight.

7+ yaşa uygun ve 'ilk okuma' temalı bu seri çok ilgi çekici.
Bu ikinci okuyuşumdu. Çok güzel, harika bir kitap. İleride miniğimle okuduğumu hayal edebiliyorum.:)
Çulha kuşu, penguenler, guguk kuşları ile ilgili bilgileri okumayı seviyorum.

İçinde yuva yapmak, yumurtlamak, yumurtadan çıkış, ilk beslenme ve ilk uçuş deneyimine dair birçok bilgi, zengin görsellerle aktarılmış. Meraklı miniklerin sorularına cevap olabilecek bu kitaba ve seriye göz atabilirsiniz.
