This book is not recommended for
karen because it is about birds.
It is recommended for children who like nature or people who are trying to teach children about birding.
The illustrations are simple and not-brightly-colored; the illustrations are painted in muted, earthen tones with lots of browns and mossy greens, some quiet orangey reds, and soft yellows. It's pleasing to the eye, not garish. Elegant but not hoity-toity.
The birds are recognizable as creatures that are in our own backyards and the whole book has the feeling of a childhood summer afternoon.
Also, in regard to the title, the first thing that went through my mind: http://youtu.be/2WNrx2jq184
