Fine Feathered Friends: Tish Rabe

"A bird gets its name
from the simplest things -
what it does, how it looks,
or the song that it sings."
And so Dr. Seuss` famous Cat in the Hat introduces young readers to the amazing world of birds.

This title and others form part of a series of books that takes an off-beat look at nature and natural sciences through a fun combination of Seussian rhymes and zany illustrations. Aimed at early readers - from four to seven year olds - the books are designed to bridge the gap between concept books written for preschoolers and more formal non fiction titles that require fluent reading skills. By presenting the facts in a lively and rhythmic manner, they provide the critical foundation upon which complex facts and ideas can eventually be built.
