Snowy Day Bird Buffet is a book for children of all ages. Twelve different birds are observed and described, in verse, as they take part in a buffet of seed and suet at a feeding station on a wintry day. Colorful graphic illustrations accompany the rhyming text. This book is educational as well as entertaining. Information about each bird is provided in a section of fun facts, and a short glossary and list of links to informative websites are also included.
Reading this book with children should increase their interest in the outside world and, hopefully, ignite their curiosity about birds. It is the author's intention to awaken the sense of wonder in all who read Snowy Day Bird Buffet.
Readers Respond
“I got the Snowy Day Bird Buffet yesterday and I love it! The verses are clear enough for a child to understand while being informative enough for an adult to stay interested. Counting the birds to match the numbers is a great activity. I personally liked the fun facts as I did not know them. Great book! One I can see being read over and over.”
