1001 Birds
by Joanna Rzezak
Age Range: 6-8
Following a similar format to 1001 Bees and 1001 Ants, here is another charming, illustrated non-fiction picture by Polish author and illustrator Joanna Rzezak, who this time turns her attention to birds. Packed full of the usual intricate detail this book provides information about a whole host of birds – from the swallows who make a long journey south to the great crested grebe with its magnificent feathers or the starlings who are looking to build a nest and the blackbird who loves to sing and the tawny owl hiding inside the tree. Readers can discover which birds migrate, who are the highest-flying birds and about the magnificent bird of prey, the golden eagle.
The text, translated from French, is lively and engaging and packed with fascinating facts and together with the colourful artwork, it will provide the reader with plenty to look at. This is an ideal book for parents and carers to share with young children and for teachers to introduce the natural world into the classroom. Look out for 1001 Bees (2021) and 1001 Ants (2022) also reviewed on the website.
