Really enjoyed this. It's not as dry as some of the informational bird texts we've explored and the illustrations are lovely. I think it's a good introductory non-fiction book about common North American songbirds for the elementary audience. It suffers from lack of range maps showing where in North America each bird can be found, and there is no Bibliography or suggestions for further study. But, it does have some fun little craft suggestions and the ruler on the back cover is a nice addition.
