The next BigBook in the series introduces young children to some of the most colorful, magnificent, silly, and surprising feathered creatures from around the world.

Following up the hugely successful The Big Book of Bugs, The Big Book of Beasts, and The Big Book of the Blue, The Big Book of Birds is a fact-filled tour of the world’s most wonderful winged creatures. Yuval Zommer’s distinctive illustrations show off some of the most colorful, flamboyant, impressive, and wacky birds of the sky. Picture-book charm pairs with informative nonfiction to make a beautiful, large-format title for parents to share with young children and for older children to read by themselves.

The book draws in children and parents alike with captivating information about and charming illustrations of hummingbirds, peacocks, flamingos, bald eagles, secretary birds, puffins, red-crowned cranes, and more. The book also invites young bird-watchers to protect birds where they live and make their gardens bird-friendly. The text is chatty, funny, and full of remarkable facts.

Yuval Zommer’s illustrations and fresh approach are what make this series feel distinct. His glorious and quirky pictures appeal to young children, who will relish the flighty questions and pithy facts about the most exciting creatures of the sky.

Review

"The watercolor illustrations joyously spill across pages, portraying an amazing variety of feathered creatures busily interacting with each other… This is a book that needs to be looked at again and again, slowly and carefully; the perusal will result in fresh discoveries every time."
― Booklist

"Written and organized in similar format to his previous titles, Zommer’s magical illustrations will draw the reader into the captivating world of birds… A careful walk through this book will prove to be an enjoyable one, perhaps leading some…to become instant bird aficionados."
― School Library Journal

Everything but the eyes
It is a lovely book but I wish the illustrations of the eyes weren't so odd. It creeps me out a bit. I also have the Big Book of Blooms and there are no creepy eyes in there.

WE LOVE YUVAL ZOMMER’S BIG BOOK SERIES!!!
He has his own unique style of illustrating that we’ve loved right from the beginning! The art alone keeps my children interested. They love turning the pages, admiring the photos and telling me which facts to read to them first. These books are a treasure that can be used as a read aloud but also to learn! Big fans of his work!

This is a beautiful informative book. My 5 year old daughter loved it.
Note that some people don’t like how bird eyes are drawn ( both eyes on the same side of bird face). It’s an artistic expression, make sure to take a look at provided photos to see how you feel about them before purchasing.

We LOVE the "big book" series! They have great, fun, and interesting animal facts -- often information that my all-knowing animal-loving 7-year-old hasn't heard or read before. The illustrations are gorrrrgeous as well! We own every one of these books and are crossing our fingers for a reptiles one soon, hopefully! Will absolutely keep these books to pass down to my son's children someday.

My daughters (4 and 6) LOVE this book. The illustrations are colorful and fun to look at, and the pages are packed with interesting facts without overloading my kids with too much information. Even I have learned new and interesting facts about different birds. My girls also love finding the hidden eggs in the pages. I highly recommend this book!

This book is so high quality. The illustrations are beautiful and makes facts interesting for young readers. There's a variety of pages that require you to turn the book sideways to see a larger illustration and my kids love that. Perfect for little nature explorers!
