Cathryn and John Sill's wonderful nature books are appearing in board format for younger children: Curious About Birds & Curious About Mammals


ISBN: 9781682631904
$6.99 Board Book
My thoughts:  I have enjoyed everyone of the Carolyn & John Sill nature picture books I have seen. It is a delight to see their beautiful works sized down and presented in such a splendid way that delights and educates young children. Each bird is identified and represents a fact about the bird or birds in general. These will implant kernels of fact and truth in their minds to later be fleshed out with more detail as they grown.

As always, the illustrations are bright and perfectly detailed to bring out the beauty of these creatures. I just love these books.

About the book: This board book beginner’s guide offers a thoughtful first glimpse into the world of birds.

Educator and author Cathryn Sill introduces very young children to basic facts about birds with the help of beautifully detailed illustrations from noted wildlife illustrator John Sill. Simple and clear descriptions of how birds look, where they live, what they eat, and how they move around make this first title in the Discovering Nature series a dependable and informative beginning resource for learning about birds.

My thoughts:  Young children will be delighted to have their own beautiful nature books and in the Curious About series, the Mammals book shows what a wide variety of mammals there are. I just love how the Curious About books show the "always have" similarities and also the differences that abound through the creatures group classified as mammals.

Beautifully illustrated with bright, highly accurate and detailed drawings, these books are a delight to read and peruse. Each mammal is identified on its page. I just love this series of books and as always highly value and appreciate the work of Carolyn and John Sill.

  1. My 11 month old son loves birds, so I may need to see if our library carries that book. We like to start our mornings out on the patio, watching for birds and listening to their birdsong!
