What Bluebirds Do by Pamela F. Kirby - ESSENTIAL

What Bluebirds Do by Pamela F. Kirby. NONFICTION PICTURE BOOK Boyds Mills Press 

Language~G, Sexual Content~G; Violence~G

EL – ESSENTIAL 

Do you have a bird feeder in your backyard? Have you ever wondered how the birds nest and raise their babies?

Pamela Kirby has created a masterful, yet simple to understand book that introduces readers to a bluebird couple and follows them through their first nest and brood. 

Kirby has expertly peppered this engaging story with facts about these birds and includes valuable vocabulary building terms within the text. Unlike many non-fiction books, this title was not text heavy and yet I learned much! Incredible photographs accompany each part of the story. The additional information provided in the afterword is also superb. No non-fiction collection for elementary age children would be complete without this title!
