A Beautiful picture book with lots of information about birds from all over the world. I would have liked to have seen more images and less info, as I bought it primarily for inspiration for drawing.

OK I know these are supposed to be kid books but they are awesome! Great pictures and just enough text to make you want to learn more. Great choices for a beginning history reader or to start an older reader out in a new area. Every time I pick one of these up and read it I learn new things. Highly Recommended

This is a great introduction to all aspects of birds for the beginner interested in birds. Although it's created for juveniles, the information is detailed and was mostly new to me.
I read all of it, but it is more set up for browsing for whatever is most fascinating to you.

This book was pretty good for a bird book. I don't normally read books about them, but I liked how this one showed how birds hatch and their nests, etc.

Found this back in my storage, so re-read every piece of this book. Amazing information, and lots of great (and helpful) photographs. I feel as if I'm going to forget at least half of what I just learned, but that's just me, haha.

The cover of my book doesn't look like this. And it has a CD-Rom with clip art.
I have a love/hate relationship with the Eyewitness books. I love all the interesting and informative pictures. I hate the busyness of it all. I also don't appreciate how they try to throw evolution into everything.
We checked this out just to look through. I put it in the book basket and they browsed through it several times. I didn't want to read the various 9 million snippets of information together, but I did answer any questions they had.
The pictures are all photographs and are very well done. You can learn a lot just by looking at them.
I never use these books as our main source of information because you only get a small blurb about each thing and I don't feel it's enough. But for pictures and/or browsing they work well.

Birds besides owls make pellets! I had no idea. Also, baby birds can be really, really ugly. I knew that, but these pictures make it crystal clear.
