250 North American Birds in Song
Les Beletsky
Illustrated by John Sill
We don't listen enough. Maybe it's because we are bombarded with constant background noise wherever we go. This collection of bird songs makes you glad you can listen. Young learners hearing these birds' songs and cries get a chance to connect to their world in an entirely new and different way. So much of the sound children hear is negative, frightening, and demanding. This book gives them pure sound -- without editing, layering, spin, or a group's message. This kind of sound can open doors and give children permission to explore and hear the world's song in a deeply personal way that lets them experience a world they will cherish, care for, and value.
This ingenious book lets you listen to a sampling of songs from a wide selection of North American birds. (You find each bird's song by scrolling to its number on the LCD screen attached to the book and pressing the play button.) The voice of the loons will give you chills, whether you've heard it in person or not. The book is crammed full of the typical songs, cries, and conversation of each bird. It's just the ticket for someone who is taking a trip to our shores, lakes, rivers, and beaches, where migrating birds create a constantly changing, nearly invisible and unheard backdrop to those who don't pay attention. Each bird's song is accompanied by a full-page detailed drawing. There's enough text to spark interest in the bird's habits, convey the need for habitat protection so the bird can continue to sing, and allow for bird identification. It may even encourage a latent/budding naturalist, conservationist, or environmentalist.
