About This Book
A parent might reach for this book when they want to spark a love for the outdoors in their toddler or are looking for a screen-free family activity.

It gently fosters a sense of wonder and curiosity about the natural world. Perfect for ages 1-4, its sturdy pages and simple, fact-based text make it an ideal first nature guide.

What Parents Should Know
Sensitive Topics
None. The book is a straightforward and positive introduction to nature.
Ideal Reader
A curious 2 or 3-year-old who loves pointing out animals and learning new words. This is also for the family that enjoys nature walks and wants a book to connect their outdoor experiences with reading time. It’s perfect for the child who is just starting to notice the world beyond their home and ask questions about it.
Parent Prep
No preparation is needed, the book can be read cold. A parent could enhance the experience by looking up bird calls on a phone after reading, or by having a pair of child-safe binoculars ready for a walk, but the book stands perfectly well on its own. The parent notices their toddler pointing at birds in the backyard or at the park and saying "Birdie!" They want to nurture this budding interest with more specific information and vocabulary, moving from the general to the specific in a developmentally appropriate way.
