Synopsis

"Birds and opposites converge in this book for budding ornithologists...ambitious." -- KIRKUS REVIEWS

From the Cornell Lab of Ornithology - the world leader in the study, appreciation, and conservation of birds - this fun and vibrant board book introduces young readers to opposites from a fast falcon to a slow heron. It's never too early to expose your children to the many wonders of nature! EARLY BIRDS, our new board book series, continues with MY OPPOSITES pairing concepts like loud with one beautiful bird and it's opposite with a second bird for reinforcement. Backmatter includes scannable QR codes that will play the call of each bird species, perfect fun for birder families wanting a soundtrack as they read along.

About the EARLY BIRDS SERIES

The Early Birds Learning Series introduces toddlers to a range of concepts using birds, including color, numbers, opposites, and more. Developed by a team of birders and teachers at the Cornell Lab of Ornithology, each book is designed to help teach youngsters the beauty and joy of bird appreciation as they learn each concept.

Special features differentiate EARLY BIRDS from other board book series, including: 1) Repetitive triplets and word tools on each spread to describe what each bird does or sounds like, enhancing learning; 2) Back matter with streaming HD bird sounds that gives parents and children a real multi-media experience using BIRD QR, our free Android and iOS downloadable app; 3) Special page tabs for little hands

Rave reviews for EARLY BIRDS:

"Tabbed pages open to spreads, each featuring a bird that - except for the flamingos - you could find here" -- ITHACA CHILD

"Each page features a bird, as well as a natural feature...Text also describes birds' calls. Tabs allow young children to grab hold for easy page-turning."-ARCHIMEDES NOTEBOOK
