This bright and lively board book introduces young children to a variety of birds and the special sounds they make.
Loes Botman's colorful and detailed illustrations bring the different birds -- including a robin, blue tit, swan, pigeon and duck -- vividly to life. Children will learn to recognize the birds -- many of which live in their gardens, parks and countryside -- and be encouraged to try out their distinctive calls.
The simple concepts and words make this book perfect for exploring with young children.
'I hope we see more books like this one in the future. It's basically a nonfiction board book, telling you which sounds each songbird makes. The fact that it's also gorgeous to the eye is just gravy.'

'Like a kindly grandparent, gently pointing out the wonders of nature to a curious child, the book opens readers' eyes (and ears) to the range of birds in our localities. Even grown-ups may discover here birds which they have never noticed or recognized before. Loes Botman's illustrations combine accurate details... With glowing coloured backgrounds. The effect is atmospheric and appealing, as well as being a useful first guide to common birds. Hello Birds is a beautiful first step into nature connection.'
