About this deal

A bouncy read-aloud book, beautifully illustrated with bold, bright colours and packed with all sorts of wild and wonderful birds! I can also picture a teacher reading this book to a class and all his/her students acting like birds too. This is an excellent book for an interactive read aloud, the listeners will have a hard time sitting still in their seats.

However, this is a very minor point and I can see this book becoming a firm favourite with children. Additionally, it provides unlimited opportunities of texture play that is known to build nerve connections that trigger a child’s inclination and ability to pursue complex learning.It is drawn with very distinct pop-art colours that really zing and grab your attention from the get-go.

There's enough detail in the birds to be interesting and tell one type from another but not so much that it's overly realistic. Talk about the items inside, encourage the child to touch them, pick them up, (maybe simulate a bird feeding), have them feel the feathers on their cheeks, palms and souls of their feet. HOORAY FOR BIRDS is a vibrantly colorful celebration of our feathered friends, which encourages kids to act like a range of birds both familiar and exotic. With sections on mental health, sex, identity, family, politics and first love, it’s likely to appeal more to female readers at first glance (but would be invaluable for boys brave enough to sneak a peek).

Author Guy Bass introduces SCRAP, about one robot who tried to protect the humans on his planet against an army of robots. Colourful and easy to read, this story is great for children starting to learn how to read and also for younger ones learning different types of birds - penguins, parrots, owls. The intense, sometimes confessional tone, strongly personal throughout, may polarise readers, and some areas, such as the section on climate change, seem slightly perfunctory.

Her past experience includes working with pre-schoolers and teaching creative writing to middle graders. This day in the life of birds will hold the attention of even the smallest bird-watchers, whether at storytime or just before settling into their cozy nests to sleep. More scaly wings are beating in Stephanie Burgis’s The Dragon with a Chocolate Heart (Bloomsbury), the appealing tale of Aventurine, a discontented young dragon still to find her vocation. Starting at the beginning of the day with a cockerel and ending with an owl, the story has a lovely rhythm and rhyme to explore each bird - 'swoop up and down, swoop round and round', exciting a toddler into believing they are in fact a bird. However, it's still one of the better books out there for CVIs, with the text also helping make up for any shortfall in the illustrations.My son's reaction was to immediately jump up and act out these verbs - exactly what I love about a good story. Then swoop like a starling”), it’s a riotous, interactive, zingingly colourful book – perfect to share with the very young.
