Review :
ForeWord Magazine (July/August 2008): "Sparrows, originally published in the Netherlands...is easy for children to comprehend; at the same time, they receive educational information. Parents and teachers can use this book as an instructional tool for elementary school children. The illustrations are clear, such as the picture of the mother bird laying eggs, and adults should prepare to answer questions that young ones may have. ... Overall, Sparrows ignites a love of bird watching into children." Booklist (08/01/2008): For young birdwatchers, this handsome, large picture book with simple words and spacious color illustrations followsa house sparrow through the seasons in town and country places. Beginning with the spring, when five eggs crack in the nest and the chicks hatch out, the text is filled with facts, such aswhat the birdseat and where they findtheir food, that will fascinate kids and make them look closely at wildlife around them. Then there is the drama of predators, including prowling cats, as well as the hardship of survival through the winter, followed by courtship and mating, nest building, and the cycle begins again. First published in the Netherlands and translated from the Dutch, this informative title concludes with a short note that fills in more facts, including how sparrows first came to North America from England in 1850.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2008, American Library Association.)
