The perfect introductory book on birds for children, and also for adults who are new to this ever-popular subject.

'Find That Bird' combines clear colour photographs of each species with concise text that covers essential information such as size, when and where to find them, favoured habitat and any key identification markings – in short everything you need to know. A useful fun feature is that there is a tick box next to every bird name, allowing the reader to keep track of all the species they have seen, compare notes with friends, or even start a competition to see who has seen the most.

The short introduction offers useful tips and advice for the beginner bird enthusiast, while the bulk of the book is made up of the bird species accounts. These are arranged four to a spread and include representatives of all the families that typify the birdlife of Australia, from parrots and honeyeaters to birds of prey and fantails. Find That Bird covers more than 175 species in total, is packed with nearly 200 colour photographs, and offers excellent value for money for anyone, young or old, beginning their birdwatching journey.

The portable size makes the book ideal for slipping into a pocket or bag for days out exploring. Together with sister title 'Find That Bug' it forms a brand new series that will inspire newcomers to get out and about and explore the wonders of the natural world.
