(3) K-3 Illustrated by Clover Robin. This attractive book outlines, in very broad terms, the origins of the Audubon Christmas Bird Count. The brain child of conservationist Frank Chapman in 1899, it's grown to become the "longest-running citizen science project and wildlife census in the world." Collage is used to great effect to portray a host of different bird species, their habitats, and the humans who count them every year.
