Book Description
This book is based on a story told by Mary Albert, of the Bardi people, to Aboriginal children living in Broome, Western Australia. The illustrations are adapted from their paintings of the story. Mary Albert said, 'Would you like to hear a story from long ago? My mother used to tell me lots of stories, but this story I loved the best, because I loved the birds.'

Book Description
Young naturalists explore a variety of birds, their habitats, and how their beaks help them build, eat, and survive. From the twisted beak of a crossbill to the color changing bill of a seagull, readers will learn fun facts about how beaks are designed and used as tools by birds of all shapes and sizes. Bright, bold cut-paper illustrations create amazingly realistic tableaus of birds in their natural environments with their beaks in action. Back matter includes a comprehensive quiz, a bibliography, and a list of related websites.

Book Description
Do you know the difference between the ivory gull and the common poorwill? What about the northern pintail and the reddish egret? And how does an American flamingo get to be such a shocking pink? You might have heard the answers to these questions at some point -- but now there's a way to not only learn the facts but remember them too! You can color yourself smart! * Many memory experts agree that the best way to retain information is by using color and illustrations. In Color Yourself Smart: Birds of North America, you'll explore the world of our continent's winged creatures by coloring 52 illustrations of birds such as the black skimmer and the California condor. * As you fill in each amazing picture and read the fascinating bits of information that accompanies it, you'll gain a deeper understanding of bird behaviour, from breeding to feeding. You'll learn who has fast feet to catch rattlesnakes (the greater roadrunner) and whose sharp talons help him kill (the sharp-shinned hawk.) * Color Yourself Smart: Birds of North America contains 52 large illustrations of the birds of our continent, each with 10 corresponding facts to help you learn while you color. Twenty-five small detail illustrations offer even more in-depth looks at these fascinating flyers.* Each book comes with 8 Faber-Castell color pencils, a sharpener, and an eraser.

Book Description
Including the red-winged blackbird, painted bunting, wood duck, great blue heron, ruby-throated hummingbird, purple finch, and blue jay, 46 different species of birds from all parts of the United States are included in this book. The pictures have been faithfully redrawn by Paul E. Kennedy from originals by John James Aububon (1785-1851), the most famous American painter-naturalist. For each species, the caption supplies the modern common and scientific names and the current range (by general region). No distinction is made between breeding range and winter range. Only the area of the United States, exclusive of Alaska and Hawaii, is considered. The birds shown are usually adult males when the caption does not give the information on age and sex. Audubon's original plates, numbered to correspond to the pages of the book, have been reproduced in color on the covers. If you follow them, you will not only have a great deal of coloring pleasure, but you will also learn how to identify many important birds.
