BIRDS OF NORTH AMERICA, A Golden Guide to Field Identification, is a wonderfully vintage book filled with full-colour illustrations of birds by Arthur Singer, and it's easy to use and informative too, AND absolutely a sustainably perfect gift for your grandchild!
"This is the best bird book ever. It is in a order in which it is easy to find the bird you seek. You can see all the defining marks on the bird in full color, without any individual oddities like you get with pictures. The bird paintings also have all the plumage variations, and are usually grouped with other birds of similar color, within reason (example; all the grey warblers with yellow bellies are together.) I have yet to find a book it's equal that has both it's practical use and beauty." -Reviewed by Allie Traestar on Goodreads.
