The book is about different sounds that different bird species make. I would use this book for a kindergarten lesson on north american birds and their different sounds. For a fun class activity I would play different sounds that birds make such as hawk,goose, chicken..etc. The students will have to identify the sound with the appropriate animal.

Notes:
not a fan of the counting aspect of this book -- we read it without the numbers and liked it better; gorgoeus art; fun ending with the mockingbird

As my eyes go, I need to learn to use my ears more. I know so very few birds by their songs... and their songs often vary enough across their range that it's hard to learn them. (House wren, cardinal, etc...) This might get me past mourning dove and California quail, anyway.

40 months - we always enjoy pretty birds when we are out exploring but I have to admit I am quite clueless as to their names or the sounds of their calls. This was a fun book to hear what their voices might sound like.

This book combines counting, lyricism, and the distinctiveness and variety of bird calls. Athena loved it. I enjoyed it too, and especially I appreciated the artwork (though, admittedly, I am a sucker for paper collage).

Love this book! I read this to my newborn and she loves the sounds of the birds when I read them out loud to her. It helps to also tap her on her arms or chest when making the sounds. The large, colorful illustrations are captivating. I plan to read this to her more when she gets older.

A must have for anyone who loves birdwatching or the host of different songs you hear from the world of feathered friends.

My boys love animals and read this in the car eating our CFA one day.

An excellent book for adult memory care. Text is simple, art is marvelous. Accurate depictions and room for discussion.

A delightful celebration of the world of backyard birds, featuring Jenkins's instantly recognizable illustration style. Theme include bird recognition, sounds, and counting.

This book uses counting to show you different birds and the songs they sing. It's very understated though, as in just briefly mentioned. You could emphasize the counting or just leave it as is.

The illustrations are lovely, using paper cutouts and are quite realistic.

Overall we enjoyed this book. It has some interesting information, but isn't 'deep'.

A fun counting book about bird sounds/songs. I wish it had Elliot’s favorite bird, the cardinal, but it was still a great one
