 excellent for adults and children April 22, 2010
Katie (Columbus,OH)
This book was given to my 4yr. old who enjoys basic feeder birdwatching with me( Ohio). At the same time I was given a much more comprehensive guide. I use this beginners book all the time, much more than any of my other (adult) books. The color matching makes it soooo easy, and I haven't spotted a bird I couldn't find in the book. Also it gives just the right amount of tips and information on each birds so that kids aren't bored with it. It's also perfectly sized and has held up to 2 years of abuse so far. If your kid has a slight interest in bird watching and is interested in what type of birds he/she is spotting,or if you want to identify birds quickly and aren't too hard core about learning extensive info about them, this book is perfect.
 Good book. Well laid out. April 1, 2010
Amaramar (San Francisco)
Good layout - by bird colours.
Excellent use of pictures.
A little more information about each bird may have improved the book, as it focuses primarily on helping you identify them.
I bought this used for $3 - so excellent value.
I recommend it.
Great little Reference Book February 25, 2010

Nice photos - Clear - perfect little book to keep on the mantle and grab it when you want to flip through it to find a bird. It is a great little beginner book for bird watching.
