Product Description
In nature, we often hear the sound of a bird or an animal before we can see it. Our new Hear and There Books have the same effect. After reading a short riddle, children are asked "What am I?" By pushing a color-coded button on the sound strip, they can hear the call of the bird or the animal. When they pull the tab on the right page, the animal is revealed. To find out more about the featured bird or animal, readers can lift the flap on the left-hand page for more detailed information on its habitat, its young, and its behavior. Written by a professional naturalist, these books are beautifully illustrated, fun to listen to, and filled with interesting facts!

Have you ever wondered what a certain sound was outside your window at night? As children play the calls of these nocturnal creatures, they will be fascinated to read and learn about the coyote, spring peepers, great horned owl, American toad, whippoorwill, field cricket, bullfrog, and katydid.

My kids love this book! January 31, 2002
7 out of 7 found this review helpful

I have three children, ages 3, 6 and 8. They all love this book! We leave it sitting on a coffee table with a view of our bird feeder, and all my children have learned to identify all of the birds in the book. My 8 year old takes the book outside and sits quietly and "calls" to the birds (and they even answer, sometimes)! This book has gotten them all interested in observing the nature they have in their own backyard. I recommend it highly.

Listening to bird calls December 31, 2003
5 out of 5 found this review helpful

I bought this for my 13 month old grandchild thinking I would save it until she was older. She absolutely loves the book! Each time she comes to visit she wants to listen to the calls over and over. At 15 months, she can now identify the birds by call as well as by picture and has become ever more fascinated by the birds in our yard. I know that in the next few years she will become interested in the information on the birds which my husband and I have enjoyed reading. I am ordering three more books for gifts for other grandparents to share with their youngsters.

A Preschool Winner!! March 23, 2004

A parent shared this book with my son's preschool class when they were doing a lesson on birds. The kids had alot of fun trying to guess the birds based on the description and the sounds. The teacher's and myself were so impressed with this book that I came home and ordered two copies...one for the class and one for my home!! I am also planning on purchasing "Night Sounds", also written by the same author.

Very disappointing bells and whistles February 4, 2006
3 out of 3 found this review helpful

I was very excited to get this book for my one year old, bird-loving daughter after reading other posted reviews. The bird call buttons only worked for a day. I assumed that the battery was dead, so attempted to change it, but couldn't find a screwdriver minute enough to fit the miniscule screw and had to give up. The pull flap idea to see the mystery bird is cute, and my daughter was excited to see the birds emerge, but several of them would not close again without major contortions (for me, impossible for my daughter) and have gotten harder and harder to close with use, so now we just leave them all open. The information is great and the pictures are very well done, but the calls and pull flaps are very poor quality. I would not recommend that anyone buy this book.

Great book January 24, 2004

I purchased this book for my 6 year old son who loves it. It is well written and has great picture's. The colors are vibrant and eye catching. The pull tabs seem sturdy and that they can withstand the abuse of a 6 year old. The only thing is be prepared for loud birdie noises! They do get on your nerves after awhile. Other than that, it is a very nice book.
