My daughter who loves sunflowers was delighted with this book. We especially enjoyed the page where butterflies and birds feast on the seeds. Birds This nice series of books provides information about the various common animal and tree species found across the United States. They use a fun and factual format which provides information about where to find each species, what it looks like, what it eats, and where it lives. Special warnings are given to readers to keep their distance from aggressive and venomous animals, and to avoid sticking their hands into dark holes, and to refrain from peeling tree bark, etc. .
