![]() ![]() Klein, Illustrated by Tomi dePaola A bird takes flight for the first time in this delightful, simple rhyming story perfect for toddlers with short attention spans, or new readers gaining skill and confidence. There are some fabulous new books to ignite curiosity and discussion with children in your life. Share your enthusiasm for the birds and follow up your walks with some bird books from the North Olympic Library System. A few great places to explore locally are the Dungeness River Center/Railroad Bridge Park, Carrie Blake Park, and Dungeness National Wildlife Refuge. Birdwatching also requires slowing down, observing, and interpreting what you’re seeing-all of which are important skills that can help children prepare for academic success. It’s a great way to introduce new vocabulary and experience nature in a live-action “ Where’s Waldo?” situation that appeals to the puzzle solver in all of us. ![]() ![]() Celebrate spring migration by taking a bird walk with the children in your life. You’re never too young (or too old) for birdwatching. ![]()
