Bird Tales from Near & Far

I own the other 2 Tales Alive books which I bought based on their publisher (williamson) who I find to be excellent, as well as descriptions of contents. I absolutely love them and this book, "Bird Tales", is also wonderful. It has lovely pictures and stories and a range of activities which are suitable for children 6-10yo but extendable in both directions if need be. I work with a youth organisation and use these stories and activities occasionally with the girls (9.5-13yo) as well as with my own children (aged 6 down to 18mo). A great mix of folktales and science and craft and very flexible in uses.

This is a unique children's book in that it is an unusual combination of a fully illustrated picture book and activity book. Linda S. Wingerter's paintings are particularly rich and mysterious.
