(4) K-3 My Day Learning Science series. A slight easy-reader text with new vocabulary words in bold-colored type accompanies close-up color photographs of birds in nature and a boy and his father building a birdhouse. The connection between birds' needs and the birdhouse-construction is clearly explained for young readers. The subtitle is misleading since the book only addresses bird homes. Discussion questions are appended. Reading list. Glos.
