About the EARLY BIRDS SERIES

The Early Birds Learning Series introduces toddlers to a range of concepts using birds, including color, numbers, opposites, and more. Developed by a team of birders and teachers at the Cornell Lab of Ornithology, each book is designed to help teach youngsters the beauty and joy of bird appreciation as they learn each concept.

Special features differentiate EARLY BIRDS from other board book series, including: 1) Repetitive triplets and word tools on each spread to describe what each bird does or sounds like, enhancing learning; 2) Back matter with streaming HD bird sounds that gives parents and children a real multi-media experience using BIRD QR, our free Android and iOS downloadable app; 3) Special page tabs for little hands
