read this to my brother - he enjoyed this way more than I did.
My throat is hoarse and I have had a crash course in bird facts

This is a great book and in that case all Eyewitness Junior books, for those that who want to learn more in a great easy to read style. The pictures are spread our and interspersed with informative facts. It is great for kids who are curious about the world around them and they are a great introduction to non-fiction research.

I like the great facts this book has. I like how the facts are spread out over the page not just in a normal paragraph style.
