    Birdscapes is AMAZING!

    10/11/11| Carolyn DeMoss
    This book is a treasure! Each pop-up habitat literally sings with the authentic sounds of birds. My class keeps postponing recess just to go from page to page picking their favorites. The text generated so much interest and enthusiasm about birds and their native environments, we wrote stories, did reports, and shared Birdscapes with younger and older classes.
