This delightful take-along guide for young children is all about discovering the feathered friends in their neighborhood—and beyond!

In this companion to the best-selling National Geographic Little Kids First Big Books, little explorers get to know a variety of common and not-so-common birds through vibrant photos and easy-to-understand profiles. Young explorers can use this sturdy take-along guide to identify birds by their size, coloring, and even their sound, from the kee-kee-kee of a pileated woodpecker to the gobble-gobble of a wild turkey. Readers will also learn about the parts of a bird, their nesting habits, and their stages of growth, from egg to bird. Fun games and a glossary will get little bird-watchers up and moving, walking the walk, and squawking the squawk!

Series Overview: This series translates the hugely successful Little Kids First Big Book franchise into field guides that will get young children—and their parents—excited about going outdoors and exploring nature firsthand.
