I love the unique presentation of science ideas in this book. It can be read as a simple story of a bird building a nest, with or without incorporating a discussion behind the forces of physics that are presented as natural parts of the storyline. We didn’t get too much into the physics aspect on our first read, but would plan to on subsequent reads. I like that the parent/teacher can choose just how much of the physics aspect to get into at a time. I do wish that a little more detail was given in the front for the parent who would be attempting to teach the ideas, some was presented but very minimal.
I really enjoy the illustrations and their use of color. There’s just something about this style that appeals to me greatly.

Beautifully illustrated. The story was mostly about physics as told through a bird.

Cute book using the work of one bird building a nest to introduce ideas of forces like push/pull and heavy/light.

I love this! It has wonderful, bold illustrations and engaging, informative text. A great introduction to the bird life cycle, basic math and the science of force for very young readers. I am excited to see how this will go over in Storytime as well.

A lovely story about a bird building a nest becomes a study of forces. Questions in the front and back are great for parents and teachers to use to explore these scientific concepts. The illustrations are bold and full of color.

The beautifully illustrated explanation of how birds build nests.

I’d love to see more science storybooks like this for young readers like my daughter.
