It is sometimes nice to read books aimed at a lower reading level. Mya-Rose Craig’s Flight is a lovely, easy-going book about 7 species of birds. The focus of the book is on migrating birds, with species focused on such as storks, arctic terns, rufous hummingbirds and swallows. There are lovely pictures in them. The reading age is said to be between 7 and 17 on Amazon, but I think it is possible to read the book to smaller children, as the book has such wonderful pictures. I think it is a delightful book. Highly recommended for those with children.
