I loved this book. Short stories that teach quite a bit about many different kinds of birds. I learned a lot from it. This one was harder for Gabe to narrate, but he loved coloring the birds as I read.

WOW! This book is amazing!! I read this to my children ages 4,8,10 for science and we learned so much! When I say we I mean me too! This book has helped me to deepen my interest in birds as an adult while give the stories to my children. Half way through the book I noticed how they started paying more attention to detail when we go for our nature walks. I can not say enough good things about this book!

I read this a little at a time to my four year old daughter while we waited in the carpool line. The stories, told from the perspective of Peter Rabbit, are perfect for littles to learn more about birds and nature.

I don't know that there is any way you could more effectively or entertainingly convey such a volume of Ornithological information to children than is done here. That said, the physical descriptions of the birds get tiresome after a while, and the author has to reuse plot devices to get all the information in.

My kids loved this book and actually learned a fair amount about birds. This sparked an enjoyment of bird watching for them which has been fun. I found the book to be very repetitive and one of the main characters (Jenny Wren) very obnoxious and condescending.

The lives of birds put into story form. It is so much fun and a great way for kids to learn birds.

I own a 1919 copy.

We used this as Nature Study with my kids in homeschool this year and they loved it. We finally finished it today and it has been such a fun journey. They really learned to love birds and enjoyed looking up each one as we read about it. I highly recommend it.

My kids couldn’t get enough and learned so much about birds through the use of an engaging story.

Cultivates love and compassion for birds, Warning: You'll be feeding birds for years to come! Be sure to clean regularly!

I used this book as a primary text for science with my second grader. He loved the stories, but what I was most impressed with were the details he picked up about different birds. After reading a chapter we would then look up the featured bird on Cornell’s Lab of Ornithology website. It made for an easy and fun elementary science unit.

We read this book as part of our homeschool curriculum, exactly one chapter each and every week for the entire school year. Each chapter follows Peter (the rabbit) as he encounters and learns about a couple different species of birds in the forest and orchard where he lives. My brain could not begin to remember the details or differences of the birds, and it almost seems boring to spend week after week, chapter after chapter, learning about subtle differences and details of birds that I will never remember. Something magical happens, though, when you read this book in this slow manner. It enters your soul. You become a bird person. You notice things. You see things. You hear things. You care about things. We are a family of bird lovers. We know so much more than we would have if we sprinted through this book or gave it up early, and we truly delight in the birds around us in a special new way. The slow reading of this particular book and the profound impact of the book and the pacing stands as the most beautiful illustration for the type of education I now want for my family.

Read this for Ambleside Year 1. Just wasn’t a favorite, but first grader liked it ok. I wish it didn’t have so many instances of the word “stupid” for a book aimed at little kids.
