The Life of a Wood Thrush
Just last week my thirteen-year-old, who is a birder, mentioned how the wood thrush's song is his favorite. When I heard this book recommended on a podcast a day later, I requested it from the library for him and me to enjoy.
The illustrations are lavish and breath-taking. My son loved identifying the birds in the main illustrations and the borders. Ms. Cherry follows a wood thrush from Costa Rica to Maryland. What turned my son and me off to the narrative was the strong environmental push/preaching. Otherwise, the writing is superb and interesting.
