Reseñas
A LibriVox Listener
A well intended book with a nice mix of facts, mythology and wonderment about various birds - as well as a very good message about the importance of protecting birds in the wild, and not kill or capture them. I do think that the the book at times gets a bit too heavy for children though. It is also quite rambling and repetitive, which makes some parts a bit tedious. The author could definitely have used a better editor, I feel.
