DANTAisms

Saturday is International Migratory Bird Day! So be sure to check out their What You Can Do flyer to learn how you can help the birds get to their destination.

To help you get ready for IMBD this Saturday, Houghton Mifflin Harcourt is donating two children’s books, to two fans!

Robins are the most familiar and beloved of all birds, found throughout North America and celebrated as one of the first signs of spring. But there’s a lot about them that most people don’t know! In this visually stunning picture book that features comic-book panels combined with painterly illustrations, Eileen Christelow tells the story of two young robins’ first year, and reveals plenty of little-known facts that are sure to captivate young naturalists. Narrated with humor and filled with kid-pleasing details, this fascinating account of how robins grow up includes an Author’s Note, Glossary, More About Robins, and Sources.

Animals in Flight by Steve Jenkins & Robin Page

Wings carry tiny insects, fluttering butterflies, backyard birds, and they even propelled some dinosaurs up and through the skies. Find out how, when, and why birds and beasts have taken to the air, and discover how wings work in this informative and brilliantly illustrated book about flight. Part of HMH Books for Young Readers, age 4-7.
