Open the door and the singing starts. Bird World is a friendly introduction to the birds of field, orchard, and dooryard, written for children and just as pleasing to grown listeners. Jenny H. Stickney introduces robins and wrens, swallows and owls, their nests and songs and seasons, in short chapters full of gentle curiosity. Written for young naturalists of the nineteenth-century schoolroom, it still makes a lovely first bird book for a new generation. Share it aloud at bedtime, then step outside and listen for who is singing.
