The Children's Book of Birds

Olive Thorne Miller

Start with the nestling: how a bird begins tells you how to watch everything it does after. Olive Thorne Miller's first book of birds teaches children observation itself, nest, feather, song, and flight in plain chapters. Field study before field guides were common. Hand over the binoculars. Please note: this is the text of the story only. It has no pictures, so it is meant for a grown-up to read aloud rather than for a child to read alone. The illustrated experience of this story is the audiobook edition on Littletone.
