I received an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.
I found this book to be solid in terms of encouraging an interest regarding the nature that surrounds us even if someone doesn't live in a rural area. It's important, especially these days, that we protect nature as much as possible and this is a good way to get children to engage with it. The art is really beautiful and the word play is a lot of fun. It's definitely a book I'd give or recommend to anyone with children. I will say that I do wish there were more words on some of the pages where there weren't any to teach more about birds in an urban area and how to like protect them(ie not disturbing their nests) or info in the back part on who to call(ie if you have to move a nest), but I also recognize that for little readers there can be too many words as well and that can be overwhelming. Otherwise, a great book to consider picking up for your little ones or to gift to friends/family with little ones.
