ture for kids as they discover the fun of identifying the sights, sounds, and signs of bird life around them with the help of this fun interactive, take-along activity book.

The third book in the Backpack Explorer series from the Editors of Storey Publishing invites budding naturalists to head outside for a walk--in the woods, a park, or right in their backyard--to spot feathered friends. Backpack Explorer: Bird Watch leads kids aged 4 and up through the basics of birding, from identifying common birds to learning about habitat and migration and listening for bird songs. The pages are packed with prompts and activities, including 12 interactive field guides (for common birds, nests, eggs, tracks, and more), sensory scavenger hunts, activities such as building a bird nest, matching games, and simple discovery zone pages about food chains and the life cycle of birds. Equipped with a real magnifying glass, stickers, and a birding log for recording sightings and encounters, this book is the perfect take-along for any nature adventure.

Now nature-curious kids can play and learn with the companion Backpack Explorer online game!
