Baby Einstein Birds

This is such a sweet little board book about birds. The images are unique, definitely not the kind of artwork you see just anywhere. Thumbing through this board book with your wee one is like taking a visit to an art gallery and aviary all in one! I especially love the last work of art- you'll just have to check this book out to see what it is! This book is the perfect size for little hands and the pages are easy to turn. Give it with Baby Einstein's Babies, Cats and Dogs mini board books for a great little board book starter set. Babies love to stack them up, too!

My son really loves this series of small books by Baby Einstein. He spends a lot of time in "reading" them, especially at night before going to bed.

This has been one of my sons favorite books from the beginning. He is now 10 months old and has enjoyed having this read to him since he was 2 months old. There are 3 other ones titled babies, cats, and dogs which are also excellent. He now picks up the book and turns the pages as well as enjoys having them read to him. I would definately recommend this book for beginning readers.

This book is small - about 3" square. It's the perfect size for little hands. I gave the book to my daughter at 8 months. She loves to hold it in her lap and "read" it. The thick pages are easy to turn and the book is just the right size for her to hold - many other books are too large for her to control. Each page has a different "style" of picture - a drawing, a photograph, an artistic rendering...with a simple phrase to go with each ("All birds have feathers", "This bird can swim"). This book is also a great take-along toy, you can slip it into a diaper bag or even a small purse.

I bought this book when I was an education major in college. The text in this book is very simple, so it is easy for little ones to understand.What really caught my eye were the pictures. There are paintings, drawings and photos. My favorite picture in the book is a photo of a little duckling. The camera can see above and below the water, so the picture is just awesome.The pictures are worth it. There are different colors, different kinds of birds, different textures. I think that it is a really creative way to introduce a child to art.The best way to encourage a child to read is to have books in the home.
