Have you always enjoyed birds, but didn't know how to share that passion with the children in your life? Author, Jennifer Ward's latest book, "I LOVE BIRDS!" is just the book for you! Her book lists 52 ways to wonder, wander and explore birds with kids. She covers everything from observing birds to bird facts, as well as bird art and science activities throughout the seasons. After each section, she includes the "Help Me Understand" box to help clarify new information. Her book covers many details that new birders and nature enthusiasts are eager to know. The illustrations by Alexandra Vidal are spot on and adorable.This truly is a wonderful book about birds and nature with many interesting activities to increase the wonder in children. It surely will encourage children and their families to be explorers and stewards of their natural world!

Kudos to all who were involved with this book. The illustrations ate very appealing as is the design and structure of the book. Ward is very interested in helping adults and children to connect with nature. She previously wrote a book called I Like Dirt. She wants people of all ages to get outside, observe and enjoy the world around them.This book’s contents are organized around the four seasons. There is information about birds, migration, food, habitats, etc. There are many projects for adults and children to do together. Observation and slowing down are also encouraged. In addition, there are short boxed entries with information and samples of things such as what a bird observation journal entry might look like.I loved this book and highly recommend it. Many thanks to NetGalley and the publisher.

I too love birds, and I love this book! Jennifer Ward is playing an important part in helping the next young generation to develop a love and appreciation for nature. Her latest book is not only packed with creative and interesting ideas on ways to teach children about birds, but it is also visually appealing and just the right size for taking along on a nature walk. Jennifer knows her birds and has a knack for getting down on a child's level to help them learn. As an educator working at a STEM school, I cannot wait to implement these acitivities with my students. I highly recommend this book for all who love birds, nature, and children. Well done!

I Love Birds is a great starter birding book for kids. The book is broken up by seasons and encourages you to explore and observe the areas around you to be able to identify the birds in your neighborhood. It includes three parts in each season; observe, take note, and take action. The book includes places to make notes and write down what you see while observing your surroundings. It also has many projects to take part in as well. What I enjoyed most was all the bird facts such as migration patterns, wing speeds, and how much different birds need to eat. I highly recommend this bird book!

My daughters and I plan on taking this easy to handle book out on weekly adventures. Easy to read information for kids, as well as hands-on activities that I wouldn't have come up with myself. We love the extra "Help Me Understand" sections at the end of each wonderful items. Thanks for prompting me to get out more in the winter to explore! We are most excited about trying to make our own birds' nests. Happy birding!

A wonderful book for children, but interesting for adults, as well! It’s very obvious the author loves birds!
