My Book of Birds by Geraldo Valerio
A beautifully illustrated compendium introducing young children to many different species of bird.
My Book of Birds by Geraldo Valerio is a soaring example [of beautiful graphic design], elegantly laid out, offering glorious stylised images of birds from mallards and puffins to eagles..and, in brief captions, some magical facts. * The Sunday Times *
This book would appeal equally to the fact-hungry child and those drawn more to visual content. This book is brilliant for demonstrating that art and facts can be combined to produce something truly beautiful to look at. * The School Librarian *
With bold, colourful illustrations and simple, straightforward text, this book by artist and nature-lover Geraldo Valerio is very much aimed at introducing youngers to the beauty of birds. * Bird Watching *
An enchanting book, beautifully illustrated and with just enough useful information to captivate young readers. * Joanna Lumley *
This wonderful book is full of amazing facts and beautiful clear illustrations. A book to inspire the young and indeed the old! * Alison Steadman *
I thoroughly enjoyed it as it reminded me of a modern day version of the early books on birds that I obsessed over as a kid. It's concise with some good nuggets of information. And I loved the art... I think that it will not fail to ignite young imaginations as it would have done if I were a kid reading it. * David Lindo *
A beautiful non-fiction picture book. Geraldo Valerio uses a collage style of artwork to produce vibrant and interesting illustrations, with just enough detail to make the birds instantly recognisable. Sparse use of text makes it an easy read, and this is a fantastic one to pique the curiosity of young readers. * The Scotsman *
