This book is very short, but the pictures are interesting. The book is intended for very young audiences, probably pre-kindergarten or kindergarten. I will try to choose better books next time. I would recommend it for parents who read to their children because the book has really great pictures, including some clear pages that make the pictures look two different ways. It talked about the insides of birds, different types of birds, habitats of birds, etc. I believe this is a survey book because it is meant for a very young audience and just glances over a big topic. It does not delve into anything too abstract and difficult to conceptualize; the book keeps the topic of birds on a very surface level, which is great for younger audiences. ( )
