We also found some youtube videos of the bird calls that we could listen to as well. It was very educational and informative for all of us!

It also sparked an interest in bird watching, an activity that we all enjoy doing together now. It's amazing how much of nature you fail to see by simply not looking up into the tree tops!
A solid four stars for me. An edition with colored illustrations of every bird is there one? Aug 25, Courtney Clark rated it really liked it Shelves: I almost wish the book had gone into less birds with more detail and a bit of repetition, in order to better memorize the information.
But, perhaps that's trying to use the book for a purpose it was never meant for. The kids didn't complain, and even my bird-haters are looking up with a bit more interest. So overall a success.

This is a fun book for children to learn about many different types of birds. Peter Rabbit wanders around his neighborhood and talks to the birds and describes them in detail.
I just rated this down one star for this edition. It only has black and white photos. The description says they are in full color. I'm assuming that they are in color in the original edition. Feb 11, Nancy rated it it was amazing Shelves: I was privileged to have this book given to me as a child.
It is very well-written and entirely encompassing. First, it was read to me. Later, I re-read it many times. Must have the experience of and pleasure in, this book! Beautifully written Fun, colorful vocabulary painted beautiful pictures of Peter rabbit's world. We grew to know peter rabbit in an even deeper way as he asks questions about so many different bird families.
Aug 26, Chris Meads rated it it was amazing Shelves: If children want to learn about birds in a cute and delightful way, this is the book for them. I learned a lot about the different birds and bird groups and I am a bird watcher. I will always enjoy the Mother West Wind series. Oct 22, Jennie rated it it was amazing. Aug 27, Kathryn rated it liked it Shelves: A delightful way to learn about birds and their habits.
This book is written in story form and Peter Rabbit goes around visiting all the birds. May 08, Shane-Raina Bailey rated it it was amazing. Great for young children! Sep 28, Howard Krosnick rated it really liked it Shelves: First read to me by my mother before I could read for myself.
The appearance and behavior of 86 birds are described. This book is written from the perspective of the author's home in Massachusetts. I live in the Pacific Northwest, so it covers some birds not seen around here and does not cover some others not seen there. No Steller's Jay, for example. Even so, it includes birds I do see a lot here, including juncos, chickadees, flickers, robins, crows, starlings, doves, geese, and hummingbirds.

From the perspective of someone living much further north or south, the migration described would be different than what you see in your area. The birds can be looked up alphabetically in an index, so this book serves as a reference book as well as one to be read cover to cover. The illustrations are beautiful paintings by Louis Agassiz Fuertes, a master of naturalistic bird and animal paintings and a game-changer in that field. The first edition, with the illustrations in color, is well worth having for those illustrations alone.
But in it was not practical to illustrate every bird mentioned, so it's helpful to supplement this book with a modern bird guide to get illustrations of those birds not illustrated in here. Chapter 5 says that robins find worms by hearing them, which was widely believed at the time. Try to get the Little, Brown first edition, a hardcover, published in and with many reprints in later years. As far as I know it is the only edition with color illustrations. Best source is Abebooks. Try to get a first printing, as it was difficult in those days to get the three colors of the illustrations to all line up exactly and they were not always as careful in later printings.
First printings say not only on the copyright page where they all do but also on the title page, where later printings show the year of the printing. I have a somewhat battered first printing, and it has a beautifully penned inscription -- in fountain pen, as this was before ballpoint pens -- to a girl from her mother. The inscription had enough information in it to google the eulogy of the original owner, who was given the book at age 12 and had an impressive career. Long story there, but in a nutshell, when the author first started making up stories for his 4yo son, the boy, who already loved Potter's book, insisted that the rabbit character must be named Peter Rabbit.
Potter's publisher didn't copyright her book in America, so there were a lot of Peter Rabbits in America in those days, including shameless copies of Potter's book.

Burgess' Peter Rabbit borrows absolutely nothing from Potter but the name. May 30, Kelly rated it really liked it Shelves: First of all, I love how the average rating for this book is 5.
