Review Excerpts:

Peggy Williams has written a delightful, fun, and educational introduction to bird watching for children. The book is wonderfully written with younger children in mind perhaps pre-school through elementary school. I think this book would make an excellent addition to elementary school science curriculums, Girl Scout and Boy Scout troop activities, 4-H and Cloverbud group activities, or for that special child who loves nature.

By K. Bird

The book is written in a narrative nonfiction format that makes it quite readable.

By Novelist, Author of Writing Children’s Books for Dummies

At the stories heart is a message of acceptance. By accepting each other the way we are, not in spite of our differences but with them, the world can be a more peaceful place. Who wouldn’t want to impact both the knowledge of Nature as well as these heartfelt sentiments to the next generation?

By G. Reba

I would recommend it to bird watchers anywhere who hope to influence their children to get a feel for birding.

By P.A. Whittington, Author of What a Hullabaloo!

What a great book for any child! Friends in the Meadow-Birds has beautiful photos of birds. This book is bound to start any child to a life-long hobby of birding.

By Barbara J. Smith, Author of A Surprise for Grandmother Rabbit

I recommend this book to parents, teachers or leaders of organizations interested in exposing kids of any age to the wonderful hobby of birding. Thank you Peggy, for putting together such a sweet and educational book for kids.
