The Young Birder's Guide to Birds of North America

With The Young Birder's Guide to Birds of Eastern Northern America, Bill Thompson helped spawn a new generation of bird watchers and created the perfect field guide for children and beginning birders alike. Now, he is expanding the scope of that guide to cover the entirety of North America (US and Canada). The Young Birder's Guide to Birds of North Americaincludes entries on 300 of the most common birds on the continent, and each entry is loaded with color photographs, drawings, range maps, an easy-to-use checklist, and fun facts. Unlike adult field guides, which can sometimes be overwhelming, this provides just the right combination of information and entertainment. As with the eastern guide, The Young Birder's Guide to Birds of North Americawas created with help from kids: Bill's own son and daughter, and their elementary school classes, helped with photo selection and with creating the Wow! facts. Kid-tested, kid-approved!
